FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WHITE PLAINS—The New York Power Authority announced Tuesday that it was named to CMP Media’s InformationWeek 500, a prestigious listing of the nation’s largest and most innovative users of information technology.

For 14 years, the InformationWeek 500 has tracked organizations' IT agendas, providing a unique opportunity to understand and examine their business practices across core areas of operations.   Companies named to this list demonstrate a pattern of technological, procedural and organization innovation.

“We are always pleased when any part of our operation is recognized for innovation and superior accomplishment,” said Louis P. Ciminelli, chairman of the Power Authority. “This honor demonstrates that others recognize and appreciate the great job our IT department is doing.”

The InformationWeek 500 is considered the most detailed source of industry-specific IT budget data. The research project gathered in-depth information directly from companies about how they approach and prioritize their IT investments.  The research identified the companies following an extensive online and phone study.
