Recognitions
As a testament to our expertise and professionalism in all areas, CDI and its subsidiaries
are recognized regularly throughout the industries we serve.
Forbes "Platinum 400"
In 2008, Forbes Magazine recognized CDI on its list of the best managed companies in America - the "Platinum 400".
Forbes writers and editors made their selections based on outstanding financial performance as well as evaluations
of leadership, innovation, and execution. This was the 10th year Forbes compiled the list and the third time
CDI was included. According to Forbes, "Our methodology for choosing the winners is so stringent that 165 companies
from last year's 400 did not make the cut for 2008. Not only must companies pass our benchmarks for financial
growth rates and returns, they must also meet our approval for their corporate governance, accounting standards and
background checks."
Forbes "America's Most Trustworthy Companies"
In 2008, Forbes.com named CDI as one of the Most Trustworthy Companies in the United States. In its second annual
analysis, Forbes ranked CDI #2 on the list of small-cap firms that "consistently show transparency in their
accounting, and demonstrate prudent management". (CDI 2007 Ranking - #3)
InformationWeek 500
In 2008, CDI was listed on the InformationWeek 500 list for the 7th consecutive year. The
InformationWeek 500 list identifies the nation's most innovative users of information technology
and spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying
the biggest IT spenders.
"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 Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston
