Also ranks No. 3 in Consumer Goods Category
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Herbalife, Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) today announced that it ranks 35 on this year's InformationWeek 500 - a list of the top technology innovators in the U.S. The annual list was revealed at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA.
This is the first time the company has achieved placement in the top 10 percent of this list. Equally impressive is its number 3 ranking in the consumer goods category.
Technological developments have had a strong impact on the company's ability to provide innovative tools for its distributors, as well as internal processes. A mobile application was developed that plays a key role in simplifying how independent distributors conduct their business. The application allows distributors to run their business on the spot, from sharing a multimedia library and ordering products to enrolling new distributors and accessing their organization's data.
"For 22 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. "As we start to emerge from the worst recession in decades, the IT focus is now on driving growth--new sources of revenue, new relationships with customers, even new business models. This year's ranking placed special emphasis on those companies and business technology executives leading that charge."
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing, and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America's best-known companies. Top winners have included: CME Group, 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.
