eMeta Corporation Ranked 141st Fastest Growing Technology Company in North America on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500
eMeta Attributes 1,638 Percent Revenue Growth to Dedicated Employees, Customer Relationships
NEW YORK November 3, 2004 -- eMeta Corporation, the leading provider of digital access control and commerce solutions, today announced that it ranked Number 141 on the 2004 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 1999 to 2003. eMeta grew 1,638 percent during this period.
eMeta's CEO, Jonathan Lewin, credits his colleagues with the company's 1,638 percent revenue growth over the past five years. Lewin said, "We wouldn't have happy customers without the hard work of our product, solutions, sales and support teams. Companies like McGraw-Hill and the New York Times Digital rely on eMeta technology for the licensing and selling of digital content to millions of users. It's our talented employees that work closely with clients to customize and support that technology, while providing strategic business guidance, for seamless deployment."
"Being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America is an impressive accomplishment. We commend eMeta for making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 with a phenomenal 1,638 growth rate over five years," said Mark A. Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group.
In addition to ranking on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, eMeta ranked seventh on the New York Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in New York. eMeta previously ranked 12th on the Rising Stars list for 2003, a special designation for 25 companies that have been in business less than five years, but at least three years.
Overall, companies that ranked on the 2004 Technology Fast 500 had growth rates ranging from 329 to 437,115 percent over five years, with an average growth rate of 4,109 percent.
The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte's 19 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500 and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, companies must have had 1999 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively; and or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
