PITT OHIO Earns a Spot on 2011 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across America
Monarch Beach, CA, September 15, 2011 – PITT OHIO today announced that it made this year’s InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology. This marks PITT OHIO’s third year to receive the ranking. The 2011 list was revealed Tuesday night at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference taking place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA.
Scott Sullivan CIO and CFO of PITT OHIO states, “PITT OHIO places a strong emphasis on innovation in all facets of our business and technology is one of them. Technology allows us to put our innovative solutions to work and it is exciting to see what we are able to do for our customers. Our innovative strategy continues to drive a better customer experience. We are honored to be recognized by InformationWeek 500 for three straight years, which further demonstrates PITT OHIO's innovative spirit.
PITT OHIO developed a solution for automating much of the company’s online credit collections and customer service interfaces. The “Web Integration & Automation” initiative reduced employee interaction with external B2B portals while still meeting customer demands, improving productivity, reducing errors and streamlining processes.
“For 23 years, the InformationWeek 500 has chronicled and honored the most innovative users of business technology,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. “In this day and age, however, being innovative isn’t enough. Companies and their IT organizations need to innovate faster than ever before to stay a step or two ahead of their customers, partners, and competitors. This year’s ranking placed special emphasis on those high-octane business technology innovators.”
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America’s best-known companies. Top winners have included: The Vanguard Group, CME Group, Conway, National Semiconductor, Kimberly-Clark, Hilton Hotels and Unum. The InformationWeek 500 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
