Company Ranks #1 in the Inaugural
InformationWeek Elite 100 Decade Award Category
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today announced its #1 ranking in the
first-ever InformationWeek Elite 100 Decade Award category,
recognizing the 10 companies that have ranked the highest on
average in the InformationWeek Elite 100 over the past 10 years.
FedEx Services ranked No. 5 overall on the 2016 InformationWeek
Elite 100 list—a compilation of the top business technology
innovators in the U.S.
FedEx Services was recognized for its Clearance Customer Profile
(CCP) initiative, which has created a single, web-based global
repository designed to facilitate FedEx customs clearance. The CCP
eliminates 26 country- or region-specific profiles and has created
an integrated and efficient application for managing customs
clearance information for FedEx customers. Additionally, CCP
supports internal IT goals of retiring mainframe and duplicative
systems around the enterprise.
“At FedEx, we are constantly striving to meet the evolving needs
of our customers and the global marketplace,” said Robert B.
Carter, executive vice president and chief information officer,
FedEx Corp. “We are honored to be recognized for our work over the
past ten years, and we look forward to continuing our digital
transformation initiative to better position FedEx for long-term
success.”
The InformationWeek Elite 100 tracks the IT practices of the
nation's most innovative organizations and examines the business
practices of these firms across core areas of operations, including
technology deployment, IT budgets, business technology
infrastructure and strategies. To make the InformationWeek Elite
100, an organization must demonstrate a pattern of technological,
procedural, and organizational innovation, as judged by
InformationWeek editors.
“As business success becomes even more dependent on the ability
to innovate in information technology, being represented on the
InformationWeek Elite 100 list is one of the biggest honors a
company can achieve,” said Susan Nunziata, editorial director of
InformationWeek. “It’s a validation of efforts by the business to
make IT a game changer.”
