FedEx Freight Recognized by CIO Magazine as One of the CIO Award Honorees

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IDG’s CIO magazine today announced FedEx Freight as a recipient of the 2011 CIO 100 award. The 24th annual awards program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT).

“This year’s CIO 100 awards draws well-deserved attention to companies that are not only innovating with IT but creating genuine business value as well”

FedEx Freight was recognized specifically for its work in integrating FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL into one company: FedEx Freight.

The new FedEx Freight is currently the only LTL carrier in the industry offering customers two levels of service, priority and economy, in all lengths of haul through one company.

“This year’s CIO 100 awards draws well-deserved attention to companies that are not only innovating with IT but creating genuine business value as well,” said Maryfran Johnson, editor in chief of CIO magazine & Events. “These winning companies and their IT organizations are an inspiration to businesses everywhere.”
