"Technology continues to play a pivotal role in transforming how business and society functions. For the past 25 years, the Computerworld Honors Program has had the privilege of celebrating innovative IT achievements," said John Amato, vice president and publisher at Computerworld.

"We strive to develop innovative products and solutions that will empower businesses and people to collaborate more efficiently and effectively, from anywhere in the world, on any device," said Christy Wyatt, President and CEO of Good Technology. "The USCG's Laureate and 21st century achievement nominations reaffirm Good's commitment to providing technology that will benefit societies in philanthropic, economic and sustainable ways for decades to come – this is truly an honor."
This year's Laureates were selected by a distinguished panel of 22 judges based on humanitarian benefits and measurable results of applying technology to meet specific social or business needs. The Coast Guard was chosen from a competitive pool of more than 700 global nominations to become one of 269 Laureates.
On June 3, 2013, the USCG will be recognized for its innovative use of Good's mobile technology at the Computerworld Honors Program Awards Ceremony at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. Additionally, as part of the Laureate nomination, the USCG has been named a finalist for Computerworld's 21st Century Achievement Award, which will also be announced during the Honors Program Gala and Awards Dinner.
