Company ranked among most innovative U.S. technology users
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI
Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today announced that it has been named to
the 2009 InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's
most innovative users of business technology, which was revealed
this week at an awards ceremony held during the 2009
InformationWeek 500 Conference. In May 2009, LSI completed a
multi-year ERP consolidation that was precipitated by the 2007
merger of LSI and Agere Systems Inc., two similarly-sized
technology companies. An essential element of the consolidation was
an innovative approach to business modeling and subcontractor
integration. In an effort to achieve a seamless, integrated supply
chain, all suppliers were consolidated onto a single platform,
providing LSI a high level of visibility into its global supply
network. "Consolidation of the LSI and Agere ERP systems was
essential to creating a tightly coupled, global supply chain," said
Bruce Decock, vice president and CIO, LSI Corporation. "LSI now has
a fully integrated system of inventory movements, shipments and
manufacturing execution information, allowing us to run more
efficiently as a company. It is very gratifying to have our efforts
recognized by InformationWeek." 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 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights
the power of innovation in information technology, rather than
simply identifying the biggest IT spenders. "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." Additional details on the InformationWeek 500 can be
