Online Broker Scottrade Wins National Recognition for Its Innovative Use of Information Technology

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) September 18, 2007 -- Scottrade, a leading branch-supported online investment firm (www.scottrade.com), announced today that it has been named on the InformationWeek 500 list as one of nation?s most innovative users of information technology. Scottrade won the award for the completion and implementation of a state-of-the art data center in suburban St. Louis, a project designed to allow the firm to continue its business growth and meet the needs of its customers.

?Being named to this prestigious list is a testament to the dedication and innovation of our team here at Scottrade,? said Ian Patterson, Scottrade chief information officer. ?Web site speed and performance and a secure online experience are extremely important to Scottrade and our clients. The successful completion of the Data Center allows us to continue providing our customers a superior online experience and to continue Scottrade?s growth as an industry leader.?

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 InformationWeek vice president and publisher, John Siefert. ?The companies on our list are some of the most innovative users of technology.?

In May, Scottrade announced the completion of the 34,000-square-foot data center, the largest technology investment in the company?s 27-year history. Innovations in the data center include a layered security approach that further strengthened security without compromising speed, Internet trading performance and availability. The Data Center also features fully redundant electrical, mechanical and cooling systems to ensure the facility can sustain operations for an extended period in the event of electrical power loss.

The top 2007 InformationWeek 500 companies were revealed at a gala awards ceremony held during the InformationWeek 500 Conference in Tucson, Ariz. from Sept. 16-19. Additional details on the InformationWeek 500 can be found at www.informationweek.com/iw500/.
