"Our IT organization has worked diligently to focus on innovation and drive
real value for our business," said Mike Brooks, CVR Energy vice president and
chief information officer. "One area of our focus is on managing the many ways
our employees are communicating. Important data now exists in e-mail, instant
messages and voicemail--places that traditionally have been hard to manage
with information access solutions. We've stayed ahead of the curve by
implementing a technology system that can handle these new forms of data
intelligently."

To manage the growing volume of information within the enterprise, CVR Energy
implemented Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), award-winning software
from Autonomy Corporation. The software allows CVR Energy to analyze data
across its eight offices to find trends and patterns in an efficient and
cost-effective manner.

"For more than 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most
innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek's
Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. "Year after year, InformationWeek 500 companies
harness new 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."

InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of
information technology with its annual 500 listing, now in its 21st year, and
also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative
practices of America's best-known companies. The InformationWeek 500 list is
unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in
information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT
spenders. Additional details on the InformationWeek 500 can be found online at
