IDC Canada & CIO Recognize Enterprise Excellence and Innovation in IT.
IDC Canada and CIO have named Graham as a CIO Awards Canada 2024 award winner. Every year, CIO recognizes the tech world’s most innovative organizations and accomplished leaders. This year marks the third year of the popular CIO Awards Canada program, which acknowledges innovative Canadian tech projects and teams. “We’re excited to celebrate CIO Awards Canada 2024, which honours Canadian IT organizations for projects driving digital business growth through technology innovation”, said Lars Goransson, Managing Director of Canada, IDC.
Graham’s winning submission is based on our Enterprise Data Platform, Graham’s ‘single source of truth’. This project aims to take us beyond traditional BI and into future construction capabilities. Data comes to us in various forms, such as IoT and streaming telematics data from our equipment fleet, as well as unstructured data from construction drawings, plans, and digital images for quality assessments. Our centralized data platform needs to handle not only the growing volume of data but also a range of data types. We aim to quickly introduce new use cases and types of analysis to Graham and leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning for a business advantage.

“We are honored to be recognized by CIO Awards Canada. This award highlights the remarkable achievements of our team. Being acknowledged as leaders in technology and innovation among our Canadian peers is particularly meaningful, especially for a construction company, an industry where technological adoption has traditionally lagged,” stated Matt Gramblicka, Vice President, IT & Enterprise Applications at Graham. Matt goes on to say, “Graham is highly motivated and committed to leveraging technology and innovation, especially where it increases productivity and safety for our field workers.”
About the CIO Awards Canada: The CIO Awards Canada celebrate Canadian organizations and the teams within them that are using IT in innovative ways to deliver business value, whether by creating competitive advantage, optimizing business processes, enabling growth, or improving relationships with customers. It is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence. Because the award is given to company projects rather than individuals, it’s a meaningful recognition that everyone on the team can take pride in.
