LSI Named to 2009 InformationWeek 500

Company ranked among most innovative U.S. technology users

MILPITAS, Calif., September 16, 2009 – LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced that it has been named to the 2009 InformationWeek 500, an annual listing of the nation’s most innovative users of business technology, which was revealed this week at an awards ceremony held during the 2009 InformationWeek 500 Conference.

In May 2009, LSI completed a multi-year ERP consolidation that was precipitated by the 2007 merger of LSI and Agere Systems Inc., two similarly-sized technology companies. An essential element of the consolidation was an innovative approach to business modeling and subcontractor integration. In an effort to achieve a seamless, integrated supply chain, all suppliers were consolidated onto a single platform, providing LSI a high level of visibility into its global supply network.

"Consolidation of the LSI and Agere ERP systems was essential to creating a tightly coupled, global supply chain," said Bruce Decock, vice president and CIO, LSI Corporation. "LSI now has a fully integrated system of inventory movements, shipments and manufacturing execution information, allowing us to run more efficiently as a company. It is very gratifying to have our efforts recognized by InformationWeek."

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 rankings are unique among corporate rankings as it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.

"For over 20 years, the InformationWeek 500 has honored the most innovative users of business technology," said InformationWeek Editor-in-Chief Rob Preston. "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."
