Each year the award focuses on a new area. This year the city demonstrated excellence in integrated technologies and procedures to improve customer services.

"We're always looking for innovative ways to create value and serve our customers."

The 2002 CIO-100 Award is presented by CIO magazine. A panel of experts and CIO staff members examined companies that have established uniform, integrated technologies and processes across their organizations.
