| Saia Listed on 2008 InformationWeek 500 | ||
Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) is pleased to announce that it has been listed on the 2008 InformationWeek 500. The 2008 InformationWeek 500 companies were revealed on September 15, 2008 at a gala awards ceremony held during the InformationWeek 500 Conference at the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California. Saia is a multi-year recognition recipient of this honorable ranking list. "We are thrilled to be included on the 2008 InformationWeek 500. This is an excellent indicator of our commitment to utilizing the latest available technologies in order to improve our operations and better serve our customers," said Saia Vice President and Chief Information Officer Mark Robinson. Saia created and implemented an automated sales call planner tool which allows members of its sales team to create a quarterly calendar that outlines a schedule sales representatives use to better serve their customers. It also cuts down on planning and travel time, which adds up to increased fuel savings. The tool combines innovation with a practical approach to increasing productivity, which makes it a clear fit for inclusion in InformationWeek's annual rankings. InformationWeek has identified and honored the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual listing, now in its 20th year, and has tracked the technology, strategies, investments, and administrative practices of Americas best-known companies. The list is unique among corporate rankings because it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
