Honorees receive award during CIO 100
Symposium & Awards Ceremony
IDG's CIO today announces Kansas City Southern (KCS)
(NYSE: KSU) as a recipient of the 2018 CIO 100. The 31st annual
award program recognizes organizations around the world that
exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence
in information technology (IT).
"Every year, we are honored to showcase the technology
innovation and business value delivered by our CIO 100 award
winners. Each of these companies has achieved notable success in
accelerating businesses to the front lines of the digital
revolution," said Maryfran Johnson, executive director of CIO
Programs for CIO Events and the CIO Executive Council. "This year's
winners are inspiring examples of how IT leadership, business
partnerships and customer engagement can reshape the future."
“KCS is pleased to be recognized with a CIO 100 award,” said
Mike Naatz, senior vice president operations support and chief
information officer for KCS. “As we work toward a corporate vision
of consistently being the fastest-growing, best-performing, most
customer-focused transportation provider in North America,
recognition for the CCM-Mexico Crew Call project shows we are
making progress toward our goals for operational efficiency and
customer service.”
KCS deployed the CloudMoyo Crew Management-Mexico Crew Call, a
cloud-based, automated crew management solution for Kansas City
Southern de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (KCSM). This workforce and
logistics management solution transformed the way KCSM operates, by
automating tasks and providing real-time data to more effectively
manage the business. The solution automates train crew supply and
demand matching based upon a variety of factors including employee
qualifications, hours of service constraints, employee availability
and seniority. The solution also automates crew work notification
processes and calculates complex payroll activities. This leads to
an improved work experience for crews, a reduction in labor costs,
and stricter adherence to Mexico’s labor laws.
Executives from the winning companies will be recognized at The
CIO 100 Symposium & Awards Ceremony, to be held August 15,
2018, at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.
About the CIO 100: Recipients of this year's CIO 100
Award were selected through a three-step process. First, companies
filled out an online application form detailing their innovative IT
and business initiatives. Next, a team of external judges (many of
them former CIOs) reviewed the applications in depth, looking for
leading-edge IT practices and measurable results. Finally, CIO
editors reviewed the judges' evaluations and selected the final
100.
