Located within OfficeMax's international headquarters in

associates to create a space that facilitates team communication
and creativity based on the digital teams' work styles to help
bring innovation to market. The new Center is one of the latest
ways OfficeMax is delivering against its strategic plan to create a
differentiated customer experience through next-generation digital

The OfficeMax Digital Innovation Collaboration Center builds on
the company's history of innovation in its award-winning e-commerce

and build brand loyalty. Earlier this year, OfficeMax launched a
new search engine with content and navigation improvements on its
OfficeMax WorkplaceSM business-to-business e-commerce
site, OfficeMaxWorkplace.com, to deliver a faster and more
streamlined online shopping experience. In 2012 OfficeMax launched
Online Store PickupSM allowing customers to shop
online at OfficeMax.com and pick up select orders the same day at
an OfficeMax store. It also rolled out ongoing web site and
search engine upgrades to help customers shop faster, with more
accurate search and recommendation results for a more productive
online shopping experience. These and other innovations led to
OfficeMax being ranked the #1 top performing website for speed of
online transactions among U.S. online electronics
retailers during the busiest shopping week of 2012
by Keynote®, the global leader in Internet and
mobile cloud testing & monitoring. OfficeMax was also named a
