The InformationWeek 500 has established a tradition over the last 20 years of identifying and recognizing companies leveraging technology in innovative ways to improve the business. Unique among corporate rankings, the InformationWeek 500 spotlights the power of innovation in business technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.

To be ranked, companies with at least $500 million in annual revenue complete a survey on their business technology strategies, including two essays. InformationWeek editors evaluate them, and the quantitative and qualitative judgments are the basis for the ranking.
