"The Computerworld Honors program was especially competitive this year, as more than 500 IT initiatives were nominated for their innovation and benefit to society," said Julia King, executive editor of events, Computerworld. "It was a privilege to be part of the judging committee and learn first-hand how technology is being used not only for competitive advantage, but to also benefit those in their community and beyond. We look forward to recognizing the 200 Laureates in June."
The 2012 Laureates will be recognized publicly at the Laureate Medal Ceremony and Gala Evening on June 4th in Washington D.C. During this ceremony, case studies are formally inducted into the program's International Archives, and honorees are presented with a medallion inscribed with the Program's mission, "A Search for New Heroes."
At the Gala Evening, additional honors are given to 50 finalists in the 21st Century Achievement Award -- five Laureates from each of the ten categories -- each with a Case Study selected by Program Judges to represent outstanding innovation within the information technology field. That field is narrowed further with the presentation of the 21st Century Achievement Awards. These awards are given to only one Finalist in each category, singled out for special recognition by the Program Judges to be the very best among their peers.
"There's no question technology plays a vital role in driving business forward. It ensures an organization's ability to compete, innovate, communicate and to thrive," said John Amato, Vice President/Publisher of Computerworld. "What the Computerworld Honors Laureates so clearly demonstrate is technology's role in moving society forward. Computerworld acknowledges and applauds their outstanding work to improve the quality of our lives and that of future generations."
