Business 2.0 Archive

Amazon leads the the newly released BusinessWeek InfoTech100 for the second straight year. The criteria for the list is pretty complicated but it begins with companies with revenues over $500 million. Some companies were left out if BW believes they have monopoly power (thimble ya’all!).

The top 10 (in order) are: Amazon, Oracle, SAP, Inventec, IBM, Bharti Airtel, Quanta Computer, Wistra, Tencent and Acer. Other notables: Microsoft (22), Verizon (32), Google (37), and Adobe (99). Apple fell 17 positions from 2nd to 19th and Google dropped from 11th to 37th.

I am wondering when Amazon’s Web services business will pass the product sites in annual revenue.
