InformationWeek follows the IT practices of organizations year round, evaluating them in the areas of operations including technology deployment, IT budgets, business-technology infrastructure and IT strategies.

“You get the breakthrough ideas by mixing really painful business problems with a practical understanding of what’s possible with today’s emerging tech,” said Chris Murphy, the publication’s editor.

“We hear how every company is a technology company today, but it’s not really true. Too many still keep IT in its corner. The 2015 InformationWeek Elite 100 shows companies making tech a part of all they do, and doing so across a huge range of industries,” Murphy added.
