ProQuest, an information company central to global research, has been named in the 2012 InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology. ProQuest is known for its creation of information and technology tools that support research.
InformationWeek is a premier source of news and analysis of leading-edge products and vendors in the business IT industry. Its InformationWeek 500 list is considered unique among industry rankings for its spotlight on the power of innovation in information technology.
This is ProQuest's fourth consecutive appearance in the InfoWeek 500. The company is being recognised for its ability to navigate in a highly competitive industry, where new market entrants come from non-traditional sources and where customers are overwhelmed, at times, by the exponential growth in information. Particularly noted is the company's creation of an efficient, unified resource management system for libraries.
Being developed through ProQuest business unit Serials Solutions, this web-scale venture called Intota provides the library market with a single, centrally-provisioned solution to manage the entire resource lifecycle, regardless of format. Intota captures and manages each element of the library’s collection, enabling librarians to focus on the important business of evolving their library during a time of rapidly changing user expectations and information growth.
InformationWeek identifies and honours 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.
