"Portfolio management is being adopted by global leaders to produce meaningful IT business results," said Patrick Tickle, chief marketing officer at Planview, Inc. "We are proud to recognize this year's award winners for their outstanding accomplishments in performance management leadership by delivering value and efficiency to their organizations."

Innovation Award — RJ Reynolds Tobacco Corporation

The Innovation Award goes to organizations that leverage Planview solutions to achieve new levels of visibility that drive innovative or ground-breaking ideas, processes, services or products from IT. RJ Reynolds was recognized for achieving demonstrable results from improved performance that drives innovation both within and beyond IT

RJ Reynolds' vision is to increase the throughput of projects being executed by identifying and reducing the number of non-value added projects as well as the number of concurrent projects. Planview Enterprise™ gives them the ability to show inefficiencies and bottlenecks and helps them focus on what is truly important to the business. In doing so, Planview Enterprise has replaced three legacy systems at RJR, the closing process that took the Finance Department days now takes minutes and Planview has been adopted as the true system of record for what IT has achieved.

Vision Award — Aetna

The Vision Award recognizes success in developing and moving towards performance management leadership. Aetna received the award for its ability to leverage Planview solutions to demonstrate this vision through active partnerships with executives, and through the processes that support ongoing alignment to the success of the enterprise.
