Mount Laurel, NJ
(October 10, 2013) –
ARI®, a leading global fleet services provider
specializing in complex car and truck fleets, today announced
that it has been named to this year’s InformationWeek 500, a list which honors
the top technology innovators in the United States. This is the third year in a
row and the fifth time overall ARI has been named to this prestigious listing.
ARI was recognized
for the impact its IT investments have had on the company’s overall growth. In
particular, company leadership was able to attribute a 15 percent increase in
daily online transactions over the past 12 months to three specific
improvements made to its IT infrastructure and systems. First, the company
implemented a new, intuitive user interface for its web-based and mobile fleet
management system, ARI insights®. The
new interface streamlines processes, improves the overall user experience, and
reduces training time for new and occasional users. Second, ARI completed a
full system integration with its UK division, which was acquired in December
2011, allowing for the company’s complete suite of fleet management products
and systems to be fully introduced into that market. Finally, ARI partnered
with SAP and was one of the first companies in the world to employ SAP’s
innovative in-memory technology, which analyzes millions of data points 3,600
times faster than traditional technologies thus providing ARI’s clients with
the critical insight needed to make impactful business decisions in real
time.
“It is an honor to be
recognized by InformationWeek and by
the technology community,” said ARI Senior Vice President and CIO Steve Haindl.
“I share this award with every segment of the IT organization at ARI. Over the
past year, they have shown true dedication and proven talent for strengthening
both internal and customer-facing systems and tools. Through their work, our
capabilities have grown remarkably as far as what we can do to improve our
customers’ experiences, helping them to uncover meaningful savings and
efficiencies.”
"The theme of this year's InformationWeek 500 is
digital business. It's a movement, rooted in data analytics, mobile computing,
social networking and other customer-focused technologies that are turning
companies and industries on their ear," said InformationWeek Editor-in-chief Rob Preston.
"Every enterprise is now a digital business —
or needs to become one fast. The organizations in our ranking are leading the
way."
