MONARCH BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Progressive Medical today announced that it was named to this year's InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation's most innovative users of business technology. The company, which serves the workers' compensation and auto no-fault industry, was recognized for leveraging technology to create more business value for its clients through IFX, its claims administration platform.

"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."

"Progressive Medical is constantly evolving its processes to create more value for our clients," said Angelo Mazzocco, Chief Information Officer for Progressive Medical. "IFX is just one example of how our team took invaluable client insight and created a user-friendly platform that saves our clients time and money."

The enhanced version of Progressive Medical's existing claims management tool was based on extensive research into what clients were seeking to improve productivity and streamline processes. IFX is a role-based technology platform that makes it easy for claims professionals to manage workers' compensation claims. A value-added service for Progressive Medical clients, IFX gives claims professionals instant access to claim information, perform tasks, research service history and even assign medication plans. In addition, IFX also features real-time reporting capabilities and seamlessly integrates with a client's technology platform. IFX is easily accessed by claims professionals through a standard Internet browser.

"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. Top winners have included: CME Group, Conway, National Semiconductor, Kimberly-Clark, Hilton Hotels and Unum. 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.

The 2010 list was revealed last night at a gala awards ceremony at the exclusive InformationWeek 500 Conference taking place at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point, CA. Additional details on the InformationWeek 500 can be found online at www.informationweek.com/iw500/.
