Roadway Express Inc. has received the CIO-100 award from CIO magazine. The 2003 CIO 100 Award recognizes organizations around the world that excel in positive business performance through resourceful information technology (IT) management and practices.

To provide a vision of ever-changing business trends, the focus of the CIO 100 changes each year. This year, Roadway was selected as a company that demonstrates the resourceful use of technology and related assets in a tough economic climate.
"This year's recognition acknowledges the successful efforts of our fine team of no-nonsense, 'aggressively pragmatic' IT professionals," said Bob Obee, CIO and vice president, New Venture Commerce for Roadway. "During tough economic times, the Roadway team (26,000 employees) repeatedly rises to ever-higher challenges. Our IT organization works hand-in-glove with the rest of our business to innovate and bring more value to customers, while also wringing out costs. Despite tight budgets, we've rolled out a leading-edge onboard computing and communications system, Roadway Digital Dispatch (RDD), 'webified' our uniquely powerful and efficient mainframe database environment, and deployed innovative thin-client solutions throughout our 340-facility, North American network."
