Jabil named to CIO 100
March 9, 2020 - A citizen data science program from Jabil Inc. has earned the company a place on the CIO 100. The program was recognized for its ability to empower employees with data-based knowledge, tools and new approaches for solving real-world business problems, a news release said. To date, 160 employees have been trained on data-science modeling in partnership with the University of South Florida and other schools. Positive business outcomes have been realized in as little as three months, as employees from finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, engineering and legal have collaborated on data-driven models to improve productivity, operational efficiency, cash flow and risk mitigation, according to the news release. Jabil (NYSE: JBL), a manufacturing solutions company headquartered in St. Peterburg, presented information on the program last year at the Sunny Side Up speaker series. The annual CIO 100 Awards celebrate 100 organizations and the teams within them that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver business value.
