Vanguard Ranks Third in Information Week 500

The Information Week 500 for 2007 is out. This list focuses not on IT vendors(though some are on it), but on how well companies utilize IT to function internally and serve customers. Vanguard ranked third (see article on Vanguard here). Also, there is a profile of Vanguard's CIO, Paul Heller. Wyeth was mentioned as one of seven companies that have ranked consistently high over the last five years. There are several more Philly area companies ranked in the top 250; I plan to have a breakout of them within the next two days.
