"Computerworld" conducted a survey to identify the 100 Best Places to Work for IT professionals in the U.S. in 2004. In November 2003, "Computerworld" accepted nominations. To qualify, companies both public and private, had to have 2003 revenue of $250 million or greater and employ a minimum of 500 people in the country with a minimum of 100 IT employees. Participants submitting nominations were asked to provide the name and contact information of an appropriate individual at their companies who was familiar with or had access to employment statistics and financial data, as well as information about benefits policies and programs for the whole IT department and the company as a whole. In January 2004, contacts at the nominated companies received a 100-question survey asking about their organizations' average salary and bonus increases, the percentage of IT employees receiving promotions, IT staff turnover rates, training and development opportunities and the percentage of women and minorities in IT staff and management positions. In addition, information was collected on how the organizations reward outstanding performance, how their retention programs are structured and what benefits they offer, ranging from elder and child care to flextime and tuition reimbursement for college and technology certification courses.

This article discusses the Best in Class awards presentation at Computerworld's Premier 100 Information Technology (IT) Leaders conference in Palm Desert, California in March 2004. With so many choices available everyday, it is the simple solution that often goes unexplored. The year's award winners stopped, stepped back, took in the entire breadth of their IT environments and then recast their existing systems. Their choices not only created more nimble IT organizations, but also addressed business imperatives in creative, efficient ways. John M. Gilligan has made a makeover of U.S. Air Force's IT systems that included consolidation of infrastructure, centralization of management and standardization of applications. The winners are a select subset of honorees who have created striking business value through cutting-edge technology projects. To choose the 12 winners, a panel of outside judges and editors reviewed the project candidates, looking in particular for signs of measurable payback, learning experience, strategic importance to the business, substantive customer impact and new revenue opportunities or cost savings. Many of the IT leaders applied the basic idea of simplification to some big projects. But with grandness of scale comes friction and risk.
