InformationWeek Taps
Company for IT Success
DALTON (October 11, 2007)—Mohawk Industries has been ranked in the top 250 most innovative users of information technology in the nation, according to InformationWeek’s annual study.
The only flooring company honored, Mohawk was 154th in the standings, sharing the list with Lowe’s, Dell, Google, Southwest Air Lines, and General Motors, among others.
Mohawk has a long history of actively embracing technology to enhance efficiency, improve customer service, and adapt to changing customer demands. One such project is Mohawk’s new redundant voice and data network, which keeps a wide-ranging organization of factories, distribution, and independent dealers in constant communication. It helps ensure on-time delivery, even with last minute changes. It lets management make adjustments in production that save thousands of dollars. The network benefits every step of Mohawk’s processes.
Each year, InformationWeek tracks the technology practices of the nation's most progressive companies. The 20-plus industries surveyed represent such diversified fields as automotive, biotechnology, telecommunications, transportation, and manufacturing.
