`
`SAN FRANCISCO - April 9, 2001 - Patrick J. McGovern, founder and chairman of International
`
`Data Group; |DG's Computerworld; and the Chairmen's Committee of the Computerworld
`
`Honors Program today announced the Year 2001 laureates of the "Computerworld Honors
`
`Program: A Search for New Heroes." More than 300 men and women from around the world
`
`were honored by the program for their innovative use of information technology (IT) to
`
`benefit society. The laureates represent leading corporations, schools and universities, non-
`
`profit groups and government organizations, such as Cornell University, Delta Airlines, Ford
`
`Motor Company, Microsoft, NTT DoCoMo and The Boeing Company.
`
`The Computerworld Honors Program was created in 1988 when chairmen of the 100 leading
`
`IT companies saw the need to identify and celebrate the people making the most significant
`
`achievements in the use of IT for the benefit of mankind. These leaders agreed to work
`
`together to ensure that heroic individuals who were using IT to benefit society were
`
`remembered and that their innovative works were collected and preserved. The
`
`Computerworld Honors collections now encompass nearly 4,000 case studies submitted by
`
`laureates on six continents. The program annually provides copies of these case studies,
`
`along with oral histories, video biographies and other primary source materials on the history
`
`of IT to more than140 museums, libraries, universities and research institutions worldwide.
`
`''It is with a tremendous sense of accomplishment that the Computerworld Honors Program
`
`chairmen's committee reflects on the evolution of the ‘Search for New Heroes‘ collection,"
`
`said McGovern. "Beginning modestly 13 years ago, the program has grown to a collection of

`
`

`
`nearly 4,000 case studies from more than 40 countries. The Computerworld Honors
`
`Program has dedicated its efforts to preserve and protect the stories that will educate and
`
`inspire future generations."
`
`"Computerworld considers it both a privilege and a duty to participate in the search for
`
`outstanding users of information technology," said Alan Guibord, president, CEO and
`
`publisher of Computerworld. "Recognizing those users and creating a legacy of their work
`
`will ensure that the history of the world's information revolution will be preserved."
`
`Originally founded as the Computerworld Information Technology Awards Foundation, the
`
`program established its first recognition program, the Computerworld Smithsonian Awards,
`
`in 1988/1989 in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American
`
`History. In 2000/2001, the program formally expanded its activities to include support of
`
`museums, libraries, archives and research institutions not only in the United States, but in all
`
`the countries represented in its collections.
`
`"The class of 2001, consisting of 311 individuals and teams, continues an outstanding
`
`tradition of IT innovation," said Dan Morrow, executive director of the Computerworld
`
`Honors Program. "The 2001 laureates are a source of pride and inspiration to the entire IT
`
`field."
`
`The Computerworld Honors Chairmen's Committee, composed of chairmen and CEOs from
`
`100 leading companies such as Accenture, Cisco, Pricewaterhousecoopers and Hewlett-
`
`Packard, annually nominates individuals and organizations whose outstanding use of IT
`
`merits special recognition for its benefit to society. Fifty finalists will be selected from the
`
`2001 nominees across 10 categories, including business, manufacturing, transportation,
`
`government and non-profit. One winner from each category will be recognized at formal
`
`ceremonies in Washington, D.C., on June 4, 2001.
