Grinnell Mutual earns a spot on 2011 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across America
For the second year in a row, Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company has been named to InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology. The 2011 list was revealed Tuesday, September 13, during the InformationWeek 500 Conference awards ceremony.
“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.
