June 01, 2008 — CIO — Beginning last December, we solicited applications for the 2008 CIO 100 Awards through ads in CIO and our online newsletters, as well as electronic mailings to our print subscribers and to publicists who sign up to receive our editorial announcements.
Entrants filled out an online application between early January and the end of February. Although most applications came from companies headquartered in North America, the pool included entries from multiple continents.
Two CIO 100 judges—who included former CIOs, academic experts and independent consultants—read each application. The judges evaluated the applications according to two criteria: innovation and business value. Applications that received a score of 13 or higher (out of a possible 20) were selected for a second round of scrutiny.
We examined how each company stacked up against the others in the pool, putting emphasis on submissions that told the best stories about generating business value through creative and cutting-edge uses of technology. We sought to cull the most exciting initiatives in the mix for the CIO 100 honor.
The companies we selected for this year's CIO 100 Awards range from private organizations with a million dollars in revenue to multibillion-dollar global powerhouses, and they span every industry. Companies had to demonstrate not only that they were able to create new value using IT and execute their project well but also that they did so in uncommon, innovative ways: pioneering a new technology, applying a familiar technology to a new purpose, setting the bar higher for their competitors. In short, these companies are technology leaders.
