Release Details
Harris Stratex Networks Ranked 175 on the InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators
“The entire executive team at Harris Stratex Networks is pleased to have been selected for this distinguished honor” said Rich Plane, chief information officer for Harris Stratex.
“Along with innovative approaches in the design of our customer facing network operations center and state of the art datacenter, we were early adopters of emerging technology and have delivered innovation into our daily communications framework. Our goal was to create a video over IP communication service with commercial broadcast quality that delivered a life-size, face-to-face experience. As a result, we significantly reduced our intra-company travel which directly minimized our global carbon emissions and enhanced our executive and employee communications experience.”
“For over 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology,” said InformationWeek Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. “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 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. Top winners have included: 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.
