Internet-related service provider Macro Lynx Sdn Bhd has won the IDC Enterprise Innovation Award 2010 for demonstrating innovation with country's first green building, GTower.

Macro Lynx, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goldis Bhd, beat off top corporations like CIMB, Maybank, Top Glove and the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to take the top prize.

"We have set a new standard and definition for commercial buildings through innovative and unique ICT (information and communications technology) integration into GTower's architecture and infrastructure," said its director Colin Ng.

"This award is very meaningful to Macro Lynx because it demonstrates its capability to set up and manage an Internet Protocol-based backbone on a single platform, working with multiple third-party vendors and partners, in addition to marrying the latest green technologies into building architecture."

IDC, a research and analysis company, assessed the winner on several criteria, including scale of project, impact to business, novelty of approach, end-to-end holistic information technology, and successful rate of implementation
