OAK BROOK, Ill. (June 1, 2016) – Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation (“Inland Investments” or “the Company”), one of the nation’s largest sponsors, together with its subsidiaries, of non-listed real estate investment trusts and private real estate securities products, is proud to announce that IDG's CIO has selected the Company as a recipient of the 2016 CIO 100 Awards. The 29th annual award program recognizes organizations around the world that exemplify the highest level of operational and strategic excellence in information technology (IT).

Inland Investments is being recognized for the development of its ISight database, a centralized data warehouse that aggregates data from the numerous, individual business entities and affiliates that are part of The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc. (“Inland”). Operating on a feature-rich platform that combines three presentation components – audio-based intelligence, mobile capability and graphical desktop dashboards – ISight acts as a central source from which executives can review and execute on operational data in any location, at any time.

“The implementation of ISight has led to an increase in advanced analytics and readily available data, which provides executives from the various Inland entities with accurate real-time data, allowing them to make better strategic, tactical and effective decisions,” said Mitchell Sabshon, president and chief executive officer of Inland Investments. “We’re thrilled to be honored as one of the CIO 100 Award winners.”

Recipients of this year's CIO 100 Awards were selected through a three-step process that included an in-depth external evaluation, where judges reviewed applications looking for leading-edge IT practices and measurable results, from which the CIO editors chose the final 100.

"Delivering innovation and business value are top priorities for CIOs everywhere, and our CIO 100 awards program celebrates the leading IT organizations that excel at both," said Maryfran Johnson, Editor in Chief of CIO Events. "Our 2016 winners are raising the bar even higher this year with their outstanding work in digital transformation, customer focus and IT-business collaboration."

Coverage of the 2016 CIO 100 Awards will be available online at CIO.com on August 1, 2016 and in the August issue of CIO's digital magazine.
