MUMBAI: Wipro Technologies has won the 2003 Asian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) Award.

Wipro Technologies was recognised in the second annual Asian MAKE study for creating a corporate-wide knowledge-driven culture and delivering knowledge-based products/services/solutions.

The award was presented on 15 October in a glittering ceremony which was part of the World Knowledge Forum at Seoul, Korea, a company release says.

In 2002, Wipro had won KM World’s KM Reality Award for best practices in Knowledge Management. Wipro has now set-up a dedicated practice around Collaboration and KM, and started offering solutions to clients in areas like knowledge portals, expertise management systems, intelligent agents and executive dashboards.

According to Rory Chase, managing director of Teleos, which conducts MAKE, "These organisations have been recognized as global leaders in effectively transforming enterprise knowledge into wealth-creating ideas, products and solutions." Organisations dedicated to growth through innovation and knowledge management create shareholder value twice as fast as their competitors, according to Teleos' new "2003 Asian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) Study."
