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.
