CLEARWATER, FL (August 15, 2000) - CIO magazine named Tech Data Corp., a leading global provider of IT products, logistics management and other value-added services, as a recipient of the 2000 CIO-100 award. Tech Data was recognized for its outstanding customer relationship management and its ability to deliver innovative and improved business performance through the use of customer-oriented practices.
Each year, the CIO-100 identifies and honors 100 organizations that have distinguished themselves in a particular business segment. Now in its 13th year, the focus of the annual award changes to create a snapshot of evolving business trends. Previous award categories have included strategic vision for the new millennium and value-chain management. Complete coverage of this year's awards is featured in the Aug. 15 issue of CIO magazine and at www.cio.com.
According to Abbie Lundberg, CIO editor-in-chief, "Customer relationship management is a way for large organizations to gain the depth of understanding of their customers that comes naturally to smaller, local businesses. It helps them build customer satisfaction and loyalty, better focus marketing efforts, and significantly increase sales."
"Tech Data's principal concern is the success of our customers," noted Randy Knutson, Tech Data senior vice president and CIO of the Americas. "Every aspect of our business concentrates on how we might improve relations with our business partners through innovative e-commerce solutions, providing access to and education on emerging technologies and supply-chain management. To be named to this prestigious listing is indeed an honor because it validates our efforts to provide premier customer service."
The winners of this year's CIO-100 were selected through a three-step process. First, a panel of nine customer service industry experts carefully reviewed and analyzed the list of applications submitted to the magazine. Next, the experts made recommendations to CIO magazine editors regarding those companies that demonstrated superior customer service/customer relationship management. Finally, a team of 10 CIO magazine editors and writers reviewed both the applications and the expert recommendations and voted on the final 100.
