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 IT and business
initiatives. Next, a team of judges reviewed the applications in depth,
looking for unique practices and substantial results. Finally, CIO
editors reviewed the judges' recommendations and voted on the final 100.
