International Data Group's (IDG) CIO magazine today announces Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) as a recipient of the 2007 CIO 100 for the eighth time. The 20th annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT).
“This award demonstrates Marriott’s commitment to innovative technology solutions that enable our business and support our company’s leadership position,” said Carl Wilson, Marriott International’s executive vice president and CIO.
According to Abbie Lundberg, editor in chief of CIO magazine, "The CIO 100 award recipients serve as industry role models for business and IT excellence. This year’s winners demonstrate extraordinary results in a variety of important areas, including business transformation, collaboration, customer innovation and top line contributions."
About the CIO 100
The recipients of this year's CIO 100 award were selected through a three-step process. First, companies filled out an online application form detailing their innovative practices in both business and IT. Next, teams of CIO magazine editors and writers reviewed the applications in depth, looking for unique practices and substantial results. Finally, the teams met for a day-long meeting to debate the merits of each nominee and vote on the final 100. Once the top 100 honorees were selected, several honorees were chosen to receive an additional special award.
