Deadline extended to May 31. Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business and CIO.com will again honor 50 organizations that excel at using analytics to solve business challenges. If you have an innovative project, now’s the time to nominate it for an Analytics 50 award.

We’re proud of our partnership with our friends at Drexel’s Lebow College of Business and proud of the 50 innovative winners from our debut program, which included such impressive organizations as AstraZeneca, Farmers Insurance, GE, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Major League Soccer and UPS — to name just a few. Enter the Analytics 50 We may be a bit biased, but we think the Analytics 50 is great example of what can happen when media and academia collaborate. Drexel University’s Business Analytics program and CIO.com both remain committed to recognizing excellence in analytics and its real-world applications. We take pride in the Analytics 50, but as you’ll see from the year-long coverage of analytics on CIO.com and the range of business analytics programs offered by Drexel, we share the ongoing passion exemplified by last year’s honorees. “Last year’s inaugural recognition provided an exciting look into the powerful ways analytics are being used across industries,” said Murugan Anandarajan, PhD, Department Head, Decision Sciences and MIS at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business. “We anticipate another lineup of impressive nominations this year, and we’re eager to continue to bring analytics to the forefront of industry achievements.” SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER From our editors straight to your inbox Get started by entering your email address below.
