IDG's CIO  today announces PITT OHIO as a recipient of the 2017 CIO 100. The 30th annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT).

"Technology innovation and business value have always been at the heart of our CIO 100 awards, which honor the IT organizations thriving on the front lines of the digital revolution," said Maryfran Johnson, Editor in Chief, CIO Events. "This year's winning companies are outstanding examples of how IT leadership, business collaboration and customer engagement are shaping the future." 

“This CIO 100 award shows how PITT OHIO is leveraging digital data and creating actionable information.  By using historical big data, real time data, data science techniques, along with a predictive analytics algorithm we calculate the Estimated Time of Arrive (ETA) to inform the customer of their delivery time” stated Scott Sullivan, Chief Information Officer of PITT OHIO.

“With today’s fast delivery expectations, customers are accustomed to knowing when their freight is going to arrive down to the hour, not just the day.  Customers want access to delivery time predictions in order to better prepare for receiving freight,” according to Geoff Muessig, PITT OHIO Chief Marketing Officer. 

Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at The CIO 100 Symposium & Awards Ceremony, to be held Wednesday evening, August 16th, at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado.      

About the CIO 100
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 IT and business initiatives. Next, a team of external judges (many of them former CIOs) reviewed the applications in depth, looking for leading-edge IT practices and measurable results. Finally, CIO editors reviewed the judges' evaluations and selected the final 100.

Coverage of the 2017 CIO 100 Awards will be available online at CIO.com on August 16, 2017 and in the July/August issue of CIO's digital magazine.
