SIRVA Named to 2010 InformationWeek 500 List of Top Technology Innovators

CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- SIRVA Inc., a leading worldwide provider of relocation and moving solutions, announced it was named to the InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology.

InformationWeek recognized SIRVA for its innovative use of information technology to increase the efficiency of business processes, engage customers in new ways, and improve interaction with partners and suppliers. Highlighted as one of SIRVA's technology innovations, its Lead Management Program (LMP) assists SIRVA's North American, Allied and Global agents with their local, intrastate, interstate and international moves. LMP's intuitive structure and process enables agents to quickly and easily align schedules for coordinated customer moves, bridging the gap between customers' needs and agent delivery at unprecedented speed.

Designed to offer a consistent and superior customer experience, LMP enables customers to use an Internet-based portal to identify their needs and receive an immediate response from agents. From an agent perspective, LMP provides agents with qualified leads, enables information sharing critical to ensuring an efficient move and has driven increased move volumes.

"We continuously strive to offer new technologies designed to help streamline the moving process, enhance internal workflow and improve the overall customer experience," said Erik Keller, corporate chief information officer, SIRVA. "For example, innovative technologies such as our LMP application have significantly enhanced communication, not only with customers, but with moving agents as well."

This was the eighth consecutive year SIRVA was named to the InformationWeek 500.

"For 22 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. "As we start to emerge from the worst recession in decades, the IT focus is now on driving growth—new sources of revenue, new relationships with customers, even new business models. This year's ranking placed special emphasis on those companies and business technology executives leading that charge."

InformationWeek identifies and honors 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. The InformationWeek 500 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
