For 2008 we have also joined in partnership with business information suppliers Bureau van Dijk to increase the amount of information available to include turnover figures, a synopsis of the corporate history and details of their main product line. This information is sourced from Fame a comprehensive database of company accounts, activities, ownership and management structures of 2.6 million UK and Irish companies.

1. Department for Work & Pensions

There was a bad start to 2009 for the Department of Work and Pensions when problems caused by changing IT systems led to a spate of underpaid mortgage benefits


2. Ministry of Defence

With reports suggesting that budgets may be cut by up to £5bn, the Ministry of Defence will have some challenging times ahead but it remains a huge IT spender.


3. Royal Dutch/Shell

Shell has an enormous IT investment too with angel wing Shell Technology Ventures and a huge war-chest supporting the ongoing search for fuel.


4. Tesco

Thanks to a mixture of innovation and value, Tesco has become the company to catch in the UK supermarket wars of this decade.


5. Department of Health

The Department of Health has hosted one of the most widely-discussed IT change projects ever seen in the UK.


6. Royal Bank of Scotland Group

In what turned out to be a frenetic year in banking, the Royal Bank of Scotland emerged as 70 per cent owned by the state.


7. Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs

Best known for the collection of direct and indirect taxes, HMRC also is responsible for recovering student loans, collecting environmental taxes and protecting borders but is also responsible for paying out child benefits, child trust funds and tax credits and enforcing the minimum wage laws.


8. Ministry of Justice

Like other government IT shops, the Office of the CIO at the Ministry of Justice has plotted a course aimed at providing shared services with all the implications for value and knowledge pooling that suggests.


9. Royal Mail Group

Now almost two years into his position as CIO in 2009, former Diageo IT chief Robin Dargue should have his feet well under the table at the Royal Mail Group


10. BT

BT is in the throes of a massively ambitious attempt to reinvent itself as it settles down to life in a hugely competitive open marketplace and attempts to replace the receding wave of landline voice revenues with a broader set of cash sources.
