Yellow Roadway Technologies Recognized by CIO Magazine as One of the Bold 100 in Annual CIO 100 Awards
"The Bold 100 honorees stand out because they have dared to take on risk for the chance of reward in an extremely conservative business climate," says Abbie Lundberg, Editor-in-Chief, CIO. "The executives leading these organizations are smart, inventive and determined -- I offer them my warmest congratulations."
"This award recognizes the dedication and hard work of our Yellow Roadway Technologies team," says Bill Zollars, Chairman, President and CEO of Yellow Roadway Corporation. "The entire group is dedicated to accelerating our business leadership through technology leadership."
The 2005 CIO 100 awards will be presented at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, California, on August 23, 2005 at the conclusion of the seventh annual CIO 100 Symposium and Awards Ceremony.
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 bold 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.
To provide a vision of ever-changing business trends, the focus of the CIO 100 changes annually. Complete coverage of the 2005 CIO 100 awards will be in the August 15 issue of CIO magazine and available online at http://www.cio.com on August 15.
