Martin Honored for His Work in the Division of IT
Jan 23, 2012
WASHINGTON—George Washington University Deputy Chief Information Officer Edward Martin has been named as one of the Premier 100 Information Technology (IT) Leaders by IDG’s Computerworld. Mr. Martin is being recognized by Computerworld for his extensive technology experience, his history of delivering sophisticated, innovative IT solutions and his contributions to greatly improving the Division of IT’s service offerings. He will receive his award during the Premier 100 IT Leaders Conference, which will be held March 11-13, 2012, in Phoenix, Ariz.
“I am honored to be included in this list of accomplished technology leaders,” said Mr. Martin. “This award serves as a reminder of how crucial each Division of IT staff member is in helping us to establish the George Washington University as a leader in higher education IT.”
In receiving this award, Mr. Martin joins David Steinour, GW’s chief information officer, as an honoree. Mr. Steinour won the award in 2011.
GW’s Division of IT employs nearly 300 staff who work with students, faculty, staff and offices across the university to provide high-quality technology solutions.
“The Premier 100 awards program shines a well-deserved spotlight on a stellar group of IT executives,” said Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld. “In today’s business climate, IT executives must act quickly to recognize and manage risks throughout their organizations. These 100 men and women have demonstrated an ability to make those clear-sighted decisions that help their IT organizations innovate and deliver business value. Whatever comes their way in 2012, these IT leaders have the skills, the savvy and the judgment to meet the challenge. We’re please to recognize their leadership and honor their achievements.”
Each year, nominees are asked to complete a survey that discusses a number of topics, including their technology experience and background and their leadership skills on the technology front. Using Computerworld’s IT Leader Index, which measures how closely a person matches Computerworld’s definition of an IT leader, the data is analyzed. Each year, 100 honorees are selected to receive this lifetime recognition award. Information on previous honorees is available online.
The Division of Information Technology is the chief provider of technology infrastructure, services, support and applications at The George Washington University. The Division of IT partners with stakeholders across GW to provide students, staff and faculty with the advanced technology solutions necessary to achieve academic excellence. Currently acknowledged as a leader in higher education IT, the Division of IT has established a robust infrastructure and services mix, which has received awards for disaster recovery and security, as well as overall design. From internet and phone connections in offices and residence halls to software that supports admissions, online registration and other aspects of day-to-day business, the Division of IT keeps GW connected.
