CB Richard Ellis Chosen for 2009 InformationWeek 500



Los Angeles, CA – September 23, 2009 – CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) announced that it has been selected for the prestigious 2009 InformationWeek 500 for the third consecutive year. That publication's annual list identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology.

A key element in CBRE's inclusion in this year's InformationWeek 500 was the development of a new application called CBRE MarketPlace, which helps securely expedite the property sales process.

CBRE MarketPlace addresses the challenge of providing potential investors the significant amount of information required to consider an offer on a property while also allowing for accelerated investor qualification by CBRE sales professionals. The application offers tools and control points for brokers to share detail information with investors at their discretion while reducing significant third party costs.

"Providing the right solution for our clients requires a 24/7 culture of technology innovation combined with industry leading market insight," said Don Goldstein, Chief Information Officer for CB Richard Ellis. "CBRE's inclusion in the InformationWeek 500 for the third year in a row, underscores the talent of our professionals and the power of our platform."

"For 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston (top right photo) . "Year after year, InformationWeek 500 companies harness technology to improve efficiency, boost productivity, drive revenue, and establish a competitive advantage. We applaud this year's winners, and the CIOs and other executives whose ingenuity and risk taking are at the center of business technology innovation."
