CARY, NC (1 ottobre, 2008) – InformationWeek recently named SAS, the leader in business intelligence and analytics, to its 20th annual InformationWeek 500.

"For 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said Rob Preston, Editor-in-Chief for InformationWeek. "Year after year, InformationWeek 500 companies harness technology to improve efficiency, boost productivity, drive revenue and establish a competitive advantage. We applaud this year’s winners, and the CIOs and their executives whose ingenuity and risk taking are at the center of business technology innovation."

The prestigious InformationWeek 500 tracks United States-based IT organizations’ best technology and business practices across many industries. Unique among corporate rankings, it spotlights creativity in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest spenders. The research project gathered in-depth information directly from companies about how they approach and prioritize their IT investments.
