InformationWeek Recognizes Discover for Accelerating Development
and Completion of New Data Sourcing Process
RIVERWOODS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2011--
Discover has been honored as one of America’s most innovative users of
business technology, earning a spot on the 2011 InformationWeek 500 list
for the sixth consecutive year. This award is presented annually by the
magazine to recognize companies that drive business technology
innovation in support of corporate strategies. The award recognizes
Discover for exhibiting a pattern of technological innovation including
the rollout of its Rapid Development Data Sourcing methodology.
“Discover’s new process of data sourcing is just one of the ways we
continue to provide industry-leading technology solutions to our
customers and business partners,” said Glenn Schneider, chief
information officer at Discover. “Our technology staff has demonstrated
a strong record of delivering innovative systems by combining their
understanding of business needs with market-driven changes in the
technology industry.”
“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. 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.
