|
Cary, North Carolina – Oct. 25, 2006 - Ultimus, the #1 provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,600 customers worldwide, today announced that it is ranked as one of the top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America in the 2006 Deloitte Technology Fast 500. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2001–2005.
“Sophisticated technology is becoming the norm and is in almost everything in the 21st century,” said Tony Kern, deputy managing principal of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. “Ultimus has developed technology solutions that deliver in today’s highly competitive world, and we applaud their efforts, ingenuity and teamwork in becoming one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America.”
Fueling the company’s continued growth has been the increase in demand for BPM solutions across a variety of industries. Over the course of the last five years, Ultimus has used this demand for BPM to steadily expand its global and technological footprint. Through international offices, as well as the launch of Ultimus’ revolutionary Adaptive Discovery™, the company has significantly improved its ability to build and sustain traction in emerging markets and is primed to continue in its position as the leading provider of pure-play business process management.
“For six consecutive years, we’ve been ranked amongst Deloitte’s fastest growing companies,” said Rick Thompson, Chief Marketing Officer, Ultimus, Inc. “That is a testament to our strategy of delivering innovative, adaptive technologies that empower people to achieve increased organizational efficiency. We are proud to be recognized by Deloitte again, and we plan to continue to be an innovative company who is worthy of such an honor.”
The Fast 500 ranks the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. It is compiled from Deloitte’s 16 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. Companies are selected based on percentage revenue growth from 2001 to 2005.
Entrants must own proprietary intellectual property or proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues or devote a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify. Base-year operating revenues must be at least $50,000 USD or $75,000 CD, and current-year operating revenues must be at least $5 million USD or CD. Companies must be in business a minimum of five years, and they must be headquartered within North America.
