This past Friday, Opkalla had the pleasure of attending the 2019 Orbie Awards breakfast (courtesy of Versiant) to celebrate the 2019 CIO of the Year Orbie Awards put on by the Charlotte Business Journal.   The event was a blast as there were 700+ people in attendance to celebrate the achievements of many of the local North Carolina / South Carolina CIOs!  

CIO is one of the more thankless jobs inside of an organization as they are mostly in the news when something negative happens.  However, these CIOs do a fantastic job to help their organizations, the local community and folks around the globe with their leadership.

Congratulations to all of the finalists for the Orbie Awards and to the winners for such a great achievement!
