The Frost & Sullivan Awards recognize and honor best-in-class companies that have demonstrated excellence in their respective industries.
NEC has continuously promoted the development of AI-related technology for over half a century before it announced the "NEC the WISE" portfolio of AI solutions in 2016. NEC's AI technologies, including speech recognition, image and video recognition, machine learning, prediction and detection, and research in life sciences and healthcare, are either unprecedented or ranked No. 1(*) in the world.
For this Company of the Year Award, Frost & Sullivan employed a rigorous analytical process to evaluate multiple nominees for each award category before determining the final award recipient. The process involves a detailed evaluation of best practices criteria across two dimensions for each nominated company. NEC Corporation excels in many of the criteria in the artificial intelligence services space. Frost & Sullivan analysts independently assessed NEC based on the following key benchmarking criteria:
