PHILADELPHIA, March 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --

FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC), a leading global agricultural sciences company, was named a 2025 CIO 100 Award Winner by Foundry's CIO. For almost 30 years, the CIO Awards have recognized innovative organizations that exemplify the highest level of strategic and operational excellence in IT. This award recognizes FMC's Arc™ farm intelligence platform as an innovative way to deliver business and customer value in agriculture.

Arc™ farm intelligence is an integrated global crop protection platform developed to enable growers to proactively manage pests in their fields. The platform uses the power of real-time data and predictive modeling to help ensure the right crop protection products are applied precisely where and when they are needed. Insect management is the cornerstone of the Arc™ farm intelligence platform. The platform combines pest quantification, historical and forecasted weather data and crop health indicators, providing growers with reliable insights about their current and future pest pressure with up to 90% accuracy.

"This recognition honors our precision ag team's exceptional ability to address grower challenges with cutting-edge digital solutions that enhance operational efficiency," said Andi Le, chief digital officer. "The platform's innovative pest identification capabilities and predictive modeling showcase the unique intersection of digital expertise and agronomic knowledge. We are incredibly proud of how the team leveraged digital innovation and deep agricultural understanding to deliver meaningful value for our customers."

Arc™ farm intelligence delivers business value for growers by creating on-farm efficiency through enhanced scouting. This helps promote the sustainable use of FMC's crop protection products, helps lower growers' input costs and improves pest management outcomes.

"The CIO 100 Awards recognize IT leaders who drive innovation, transformation, and business success through technology. With an exceptionally high caliber of submissions each year, winning a CIO100 Award is a true honor, highlighting the bold vision, strategic excellence, and groundbreaking impact of the most influential CIOs shaping the future of digital enterprise," stated Elizabeth Cutler, Content Director, CIO 100 Symposium & Awards.

These executives have advanced the field through their work, their community involvement, and their focus on mentoring the next generation of IT leaders. I am honored to celebrate these accomplishments and showcase what IT innovation and exceptional leadership look like."
