NEW YORK - Sept. 30, 2003 -- eMeta Corporation, the leading provider of software that maximizes the value of digital assets and services, has been named a "Rising Star" in Deloitte & Touche's Technology Fast 50 program for New York. The Rising Star award is a special designation for fast-growth technology companies that have been in business less than five years and is part of the New York Technology Fast 50 program, which ranks the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the state. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues from 2000-2002 (a three-year period).
Founded in 1998, eMeta provides software and services that allow companies to sell and license digital goods and services (such as news stories, images or software) while managing a full range of related customer interactions. Specifically, the company provides authentication, authorization and commerce services in relation to the marketing, selling and distribution of a company's digital assets.
"We are honored to once again be recognized by Deloitte & Touche for our strong performance," said Jonathan Lewin, CEO of eMeta Corporation. "eMeta's continuing growth is a reflection of our unwavering focus on developing and delivering the infrastructure that companies need to successfully commercialize their digital offerings. That focus has enabled us to secure business with some of the world's leading publishers and media companies, quickly becoming the de facto standard for commercializing online content and services."

Deloitte & Touche ranks the Rising Star winners based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over three years, from 2000-2002.
