PR - Discover Financial Recognized for IT Innovation

For the second straight year, Discover Financial Services ranks among the top half of U.S. companies on the distinguished InformationWeek 500 list of the most innovative users of information technology. Discover’s 2007 entry highlighted its technology department’s accomplishments associated with the online functionality of the Discover Business Card and the creation of tools to improve the user experience at www.DiscoverCard.com.

For nearly 20 years, InformationWeek has identified and honored the nation’s most innovative users of information technology with its annual listing. The list is unique among corporate rankings because it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.

"The InformationWeek 500 honors today’s leading companies who set the benchmark for business technology strategies and projects," said John Siefert, InformationWeek vice president and publisher. "The companies on our list are some of the most innovative users of technology."

Discover ranked 174th in 2007, the second straight year that the company has being among the top 200 companies on the list.
