Vava Dimond, Schneider National Inc's vice-president of applications development, has been selected as one of Computerworld's Premier 100 IT Leaders for 2007. Dimond and her fellow honorees will be recognized at Computerworld's Premier 100 IT Leaders Conference, set for March 4-6, 2007 at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort in Palm Desert CA.
Dimond was selected as a Premier 100 IT Leader from nearly 500 nominees who were measured against Computerworld's IT Leadership Index and evaluated by the editors and by an external panel of judges.
She recently led efforts to formalize a master data management program to correct customer data quality issues. Through the program, the company defined enterprise standards for data collection and cleansed the system to form the repository for all customer master data. The initiative was designed to serve as a foundation for Schneider's overall customer relationship management (CRM) strategy.
