DST Output Ranks 167 on 2010 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators Across America

MONARCH BEACH, Calif., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- DST Output today announced that it placed 167 on this year's InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology. The 2010 list was revealed last night at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference taking place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA.

"We at DST Output are honored to be recognized for our Wrap Envelope technology and pleased to be included among the technology leaders named by the InformationWeek 500," said Frank Delfer, executive vice president of technology and chief information officer. "This recognition underscores the success of our solutions and is a testament to the hard work of our talented associates."

DST Output's Wrap Envelopes extends major mailers' customer marketing efforts with dynamic messaging that can be applied to the front, back and inside of the envelope. The solution enables the envelopes to be printed duplex on continuous plain roll-stock paper, and then literally wrap around multiple pages of statements, bills, inserts and reply/remit envelopes.

"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.
