OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE:OSK), a leading designer and manufacturer of
specialty vehicles, vehicle bodies and access equipment, today announced
it has been named as a recipient of the 2019 IDG CIO 100 award. This
annual awards program highlights organizations around the world that
drive information technology excellence both operationally and
strategically.
The annual CIO 100 Awards celebrate 100 organizations and the teams
within them that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver business
value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimizing business
processes, enabling growth or improving relationships with customers.
Recipients are selected through a three-step process. First, companies
fill out an online application form detailing innovative IT and business
initiatives. Next, a team of external judges (many of them former CIOs)
reviews the applications in depth, looking for leading-edge IT practices
and measurable results. Finally, CIO editors review the judges'
recommendations and select the final 100.
“On behalf of our global information technology organization, we are
honored to receive this award which showcases our drive to continually
improve and challenge the way we approach information technology
operations and strategy to add value for the business,” said Anupam
Khare, Oshkosh Corporation Senior Vice President and Chief Information
Officer. “This achievement is a result of the innovative spirit of our
team who continue to look for new ways to challenge the status quo and
transform the business each day.”
“Across the business landscape, companies everywhere recognize the vital
role that an innovative, value-driven approach to information technology
plays in their success,” said Maryfran Johnson, IDG’s Executive Director
of CIO Programs. “This year’s CIO 100 winning companies are inspiring
examples of how IT leadership, business collaboration and digital
transformation will drive future growth.”
Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at The CIO 100
Symposium & Awards Ceremony, to be held Wednesday evening, August 21, at
the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
