ISC Wins CIO Magazine's CIO 100 Award

June 12 , 2007 :: Shirley Ross, ISC

Information Systems & Computing has been named a recipient of CIO Magazine’s CIO 100 Award for 2007.  Every year CIO Magazine identifies and honors 100 organizations that have created business value through effective and innovative use of IT.  ISC is being honored this year for its inventive use of open source programming in bringing several strategic initiatives to Penn, including Student Borrowing Management System, My Reimbursements For Travel & Living, and the Voice Over IP replacement of Penn’s telecommunications infrastructure. 

To be considered for the 20th annual awards, organizations first completed an on-line survey.  A team of CIO editors and writers reviewed the surveys, debated their merits, and then voted to determine the final 100 out of the thousands of submissions.  ISC is in good company.  This year’s recipients include the Defense Intelligence Agency, Dell, Duke University, Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, Schering-Plough, Unisys, the U.S. Department of Justice, and Vanguard.

The award will be announced in CIO Magazine’s August 15th issue.
