Mission

edit

InformationWeek's stated mission is "the business value of technology".[citation needed] The InformationWeek website features news, an array of proprietary InformationWeek research, analysis on IT trends, a whitepaper library, and editorial content.

InformationWeek Research identifies and interprets business technology trends and issues, producing more than 100 studies each year.[17][18] Among its studies and reports are:

  • The annual InformationWeek 500[19] (a listing of the nation's top users of information technology)
  • The National IT Salary Survey[20] (IT employee-based compensation and benefits study)
  • The Global Information Security Study (6 languages, more than 15 countries participate)

InformationWeek runs events such as the InformationWeek 500 Conference & Gala Awards.[21]

The BrainYard

edit

The BrainYard is a news and commentary website focused on social business produced by InformationWeek and the Enterprise 2.0 Conference. It covers the business uses of social media and collaboration technologies, including enterprise social networks for internal collaboration, social communities for customer support, and the sales, marketing, and customer support uses of public social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. The site also covers other enterprise collaboration technologies, such as videoconferencing and unified communications, particularly to the extent these are converging with social software.

The website was launched in April 2011.[22] A year later, The BrainYard was named the winner of the min's Best of the Web Award for the best new business-to-business publication website.[23][24]
