IMPAQT’s Technology Chief Wins Top Award at Pittsburgh Tech Council’s CIO of the Year Show
PITTSBURGH – (April 2, 2009) – IMPAQT’s V.P. of Technology, Kevin Amos, took home the top honor as Chief Information Officer (Growth Category) at Pittsburgh Technology Council's fifth annual recognition event tonight. The award, given jointly by the Pittsburgh Technology Council and Greater Pittsburgh CIO Group, honors outstanding leaders within southwestern Pennsylvania’s technology sector who demonstrate innovation and creativity throughout one’s career.
CIOs were judged on their planning and deployment of enterprise systems, their ability to set goals for the future of IT within their organizations, and their philosophy and culture of service.
Amos’s 17 years of IT experience in application development, his track record for conceptualizing the most effective solutions for clients, and his strength in data integration helped earn him this recognition. As an example, Amos was instrumental in creating IMPAQT's Search Position Score, a metric for comparing search engine visibility of client websites to those of their competitors. This metric enabled IMPAQT to demonstrate the value of its work and subsequently enabled IMPAQT to grow to where it is today - one of the top four search marketing companies in the world (as recognized by leading analysts).
“Kevin has helped IMPAQT become a national leader in the Search Marketing industry and has given us the capability to provide over-the-top service and noteworthy analytics for hundreds of national brands and Fortune 500 companies,” says Matt Naeger, IMPAQT’s Executive V.P. of Operations.
IMPAQT’s analytics prowess was recognized in a newly-released report by Forrester Research, Inc., The Forrester Wave™: US Search Marketing Agencies, Q1 2009. In the report, IMPAQT scored highest of Strong Performers due to its analytics-based approach and emphasis on customer partnership.
