Aon Corporation has been named to the 2011 InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology.
“Aon prides itself on developing innovative solutions that help companies around the world solve their most complex risk and people challenges,” said Steve Betts, chief information officer of Aon Corporation. “This award emphasizes our strong commitment to using leading-edge technology to support our businesses and deliver maximum value to our clients.”
InformationWeek recognized Aon for developing a secure site that enables employees and retirees of Aon Hewitt’s Benefits Administration clients to access their personal health and retirement information from mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and android devices. Employees can interact with their benefit programs and quickly make positive changes, such as saving more for retirement or diversifying their investments, and can even enroll in their health care benefits during the 2012 enrollment season.
“Our clients look to Aon Hewitt for new and innovative ways to engage their employees and encourage them to take a more active role in selecting and managing their benefits,” said David Baruch, chief information officer of Aon Hewitt. “As mobile devices continue to grow in popularity, people want flexibility and the ability to access their retirement and health care information quickly and easily, particularly in today’s volatile economy. We’ve designed our application in an engaging way that encourages smarter behaviors among employees and retirees. We believe this will result in better retirement and healthcare decisions, thus enhancing the financial and health security of millions of U.S. workers and their families.”
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.
