IDG’s CIO has
announced that Janus Henderson Investors (NYSE:JHG, ASX:JHG) has been
named a 2019 CIO 100 award winner. This prestigious award is a mark of
enterprise excellence and celebrates 100 organizations that are using IT
in innovative ways to deliver business value.
Janus Henderson Investors (Janus Henderson) is being recognized for the
firm’s merger integration program, which was both innovative and
successful across the key dimensions of technology, operations, culture
and finance. The merger integration program delivered a unified asset
manager, with a global operating model, consolidated technology
platforms and globally aligned business processes. The firm includes
more than 2,000 employees and operations across 28 cities worldwide,
with a London headquarters, a Denver-based North American hub and
operations across Asia.
Dick Weil, Janus Henderson Chief Executive Officer, said: “We
are tremendously proud of our team’s efforts in delivering optimal
business capabilities through leveraging the best of both legacy firms.
All our employees globally in every department and region are
responsible and deserve credit for the completion of this significant
effort to integrate two large global investment firms. This award for
the firm’s merger integration efforts is a testament to the
extraordinary collaboration efforts of our people working across
functional groups throughout the organization.”
The Janus Henderson integration program, for which the firm won the
award, delivered the following critical business results:
-
A unified global business built to scale and to also optimize regional
capabilities, 18 months ahead of schedule - Firm cost synergies in excess of $125 million per year
-
Substantial new capabilities and global agility based on innovative
new technology and ways of working
Paul Algreen, Janus Henderson Chief Information Officer, said: “Today,
we are a truly global asset manager, focused around the common goal of
delivering successful long-term outcomes for our clients. The firm has
quickly and efficiently turned from merger integration, to creating the
active asset manager of tomorrow. I’m grateful for the opportunity to
look back and appreciate the hard work of our people – our greatest
asset. We are appreciative of both the employee effort and the trust of
our clients through this process.”
About the CIO 100 Awards
The annual CIO 100 Awards celebrate 100 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.
The award is an acknowledged mark of enterprise excellence. Recipients
are selected through a three-step process. First, companies fill out an
online application form detailing an innovative IT and business
initiative. Next, a team of external judges (many of them former CIOs)
reviews the applications in depth, looking for leading-edge IT practices
and measurable results. Finally, CIO editors review the judges’
recommendations and select the final 100. Coverage of the 2019 CIO 100
Awards will be available online at CIO.com in August 2019 and in the
summer issue of CIO’s digital magazine.
