CIO magazine has named Marriott International, Inc. to its CIO 100 list for a fifth time, the company said. Marriott is the only lodging company on this year`s list. The CIO award recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology. The award`s 2004 theme is the Agile 100, which recognizes those executives and organizations that respond quickly to changing business environments. Winners demonstrate measurable results in how they used IT to enable and support agility in their organizations.
This award demonstrates Marriott`s leadership in creating responsive information technology solutions and maintaining business practices that provide great value for our company, customers and business partners, says Carl Wilson, executive vice president and chief information officer.
With the economy rebounding, companies will seek out and capitalize on new opportunities as they emerge, says Abbie Lundberg, editor-in-chief, CIO. Those best positioned to succeed are the agile enterprises, able to move and change quickly, to create advantage in a world in flux. This year`s CIO 100 winners have all the hallmarks: agile operations, technology, staffing and governance models. We celebrate their achievements and expect to see great things from them in the years ahead.
