The magazine's editors and judges chose Crawford as one of 100 innovative organizations that uses information technology effectively to create business value by delivering competitive advantage to the enterprise and enabling growth. This highly competitive national program drew applications from almost 400 organizations this year. "We are grateful to receive this honor from CIO magazine reflecting our innovative development and application of technology to better serve our clients" said Brian Flynn, Crawford executive vice president and global chief information officer. "Our desktop and mobile systems are designed to provide effective, measurable gains in efficiency, and this award recognizes what we have been able to achieve." Crawford's CIO recognition was based in part on its internal development of a range of desktop, mobile and social business process applications for claims adjusting resource management. Specific applications include claim portal management, claim assignment & scheduling, automated claim report review/approval, and customer billing. As part of its award Crawford was included in the magazine's coverage of CIO 100 honorees online and in its August 1, 2014, issue. The company was also recognized at a black-tie awards dinner at the CIO 100 Symposium & Awards Ceremony held August 17-19. The process for choosing the CIO 100 honorees is systematic and very competitive. To be considered for the CIO 100 awards, entrants apply using an online application that asks them to identify several different aspects of their achievement. The magazine also collects recommendations from its in-house experts, who nominate organizations which are distinguished for their innovative use of information technology. Teams of CIO judges review the applications and make initial recommendations about each entrant. The judges debate how each company stacks up against the others in terms of the depth and breadth of their practices, their creativity, the specific measurable results of their achievements, and the takeaways they can provide to the magazine's readers.
