Discover Financial Services (NYSE:DFS) has been recognized by CIO
magazine as one of the top 100 organizations that exemplify
operational and strategic excellence in information technology
(IT). The CIO 100 award is presented annually by the magazine to
recognize outstanding innovation and measurable business impact.
�This recognition is a testament to the dedication our teams have
to the bottom-line success of the company,� said Diane Offereins,
executive vice president and chief technology officer at DFS. �We
build most of our core applications in-house, which puts us in a
good position to both react quickly to our business partners� needs
and look ahead for innovative solutions that benefit our partners
and our customers.� The name of the DFS technology department was
changed from Information Technology to Business Technology (BT) in
1999 to better reflect its focus on the company�s bottom line and
the pursuit of technology to drive business goals. The selection
process for choosing this year's CIO 100 winners included an
application detailing innovative practices in business and
technology, review by CIO magazine editors and writers, and a
daylong meeting to debate the merits of each nominee. According to
Abbie Lundberg, Editor in Chief of CIO magazine, "The CIO 100 award
recipients serve as industry role models for business and IT
excellence. This year�s winners demonstrate extraordinary results
in a variety of important areas, including business transformation,
collaboration, customer innovation and top-line contributions." The
2007 awards will be presented in Carlsbad, Calif., on Aug. 21 at
the ninth annual CIO 100 Symposium� and Awards Ceremony. Coverage
of the 2007 CIO 100 awards will be in the Aug. 15 issue of CIO
