organization has worked diligently to focus on innovation and drive
real value for our business," said Mike Brooks, CVR Energy vice
president and chief information officer. "One area of our focus is
on managing the many ways our employees are communicating.
Important data now exists in e-mail, instant messages and
voicemail--places that traditionally have been hard to manage with
information access solutions. We've stayed ahead of the curve by
implementing a technology system that can handle these new forms of
data intelligently." To manage the growing volume of information
within the enterprise, CVR Energy implemented Intelligent Data
Operating Layer (IDOL), award-winning software from Autonomy
Corporation. The software allows CVR Energy to analyze data across
its eight offices to find trends and patterns in an efficient and
cost-effective manner. "For more than 20 years, the InformationWeek
500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology,"
said InformationWeek's Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. "Year after
year, InformationWeek 500 companies harness new technology to
improve efficiency, boost productivity, drive revenue, and
establish a competitive advantage. We applaud this year's winners,
and the CIOs and other executives whose ingenuity and risk taking
are at the center of business technology innovation."
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative
users of information technology with its annual 500 listing, now in
its 21st year, and also tracks the technology, strategies,
investments and administrative practices of America's best-known
companies. The InformationWeek 500 list is unique among corporate
rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information
technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
