Our predictive billing program highlights the kind of great things we are doing to improve service to our customers and streamline our operations.”
“Receiving recognition for the ingenuity, creativity and commitment of our technology team is very rewarding,” says Bill Zollars, president and chief executive officer of YRC Worldwide. “Our entire team is dedicated to accelerating our business leadership through technology leadership. We congratulate our team for their great accomplishment.”
“The CIO 100 honors organizations that have used technology in innovative ways to generate value to the business,” says Abbie Lundberg, editor-in-chief of CIO magazine. “Unlike other top lists, it’s not just about who’s biggest — it’s about who’s doing the most interesting and relevant things.”
