Our 25 CIO Decisions Midmarket IT Leadership Award winners all use technology to deliver tangible, bottom-line benefits. Despite the reality of limited resources, these CIOs are creating the workforces and implementing the technologies necessary to compete in a global marketplace against larger, more powerful competitors. They were hired to re-engineer legacy systems or rescue key projects; to build new bridges between IT and the business; and, ultimately, to manage the sort of wild growth that happens only in the midmarket these days.
