BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2006--
State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), the world's
leading provider of financial services to institutional investors
announced today announced that it has been named one of the top 100
workplaces for IT professionals in Computerworld's 13th annual Best
Places to Work in IT survey for the third consecutive year.
"It's an honor for State Street to be named to this prestigious
ranking for the third consecutive year by a premier technology
industry publication and, more importantly, by our own IT staff," said
Joseph Antonellis, executive vice president and chief information
officer for State Street. "This recognition underscores our unique
ability to create innovative technology solutions for our customers

Since 1994, the Best Places to Work in IT feature has ranked the

comprehensive questionnaire regarding company offerings in categories
such as benefits, diversity, career development, training, and
retention. In addition, this year Computerworld surveyed more than
27,000 IT workers for the list, and their responses factored heavily
in determining the rankings.
"In recent years, IT executives have been faced with a number of
issues that have made their work environments increasingly
challenging," said Don Tennant, editor in chief for Computerworld.
"Those represented in the 2006 Best Places to Work program have
cultivated an environment that recognizes the value of IT workers
within the organization."
