Graybar named to InformationWeek 500

Electrical distributor makes listed of top technology innovators for eighth straight year

St. Louis-based electrical distributor Graybar was named to this year’s InformationWeek 500, a list of some of the country’s most innovative users of business technology. This marks the eighth consecutive year Graybar has appeared on the list.

In its annual listing, InformationWeek recognizes innovative users of information technology and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America’s best-known companies. Graybar was honored for its use of collaboration tools as well as its implementation of software-as-a-service (a technology model in which software is hosted by a provider in a central and remote location and made available to users via the Internet or an Intranet.)

“The InformationWeek listing spotlights companies that develop and execute IT plans that are both innovative and well-rounded," Graybar’s vice president and CIO Scott Clifford said in a statement announcing the award. "Being named to the list for the eighth consecutive time shows Graybar’s continued commitment to technology innovation."
