Amentra Named One of Virginia's Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program
Attributes strong focus on delivering consistent business value to its 237 Percent Revenue Growth
Richmond, Virginia, September 29, 2006 - Amentra, an industry leading business and technology consulting firm, has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Virginia, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the state by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001-2005.
Amentra's CEO Matt Ernst attributes its rapid growth to the core development of a strong foundation and culture that is committed to delivering consistent results for its clients and industry partners and rewarding career growth opportunities for its employees. He said, "Amentra originally set out to build a company that could sustain and foster fast paced growth over a long period of time, so to be a Fast 50 company heading into our seventh year and to receive this award in each of our first two years of eligibility is recognition that our plan is working. We are honored to be among the fastest growing technology companies in the state of Virginia for the second year in a row."
Amentra's increase in revenues of 237 percent from 2001 to 2005 resulted in a 35 ranking in the Technology Fast 50 for Virginia.
The Virginia Technology Fast 50 program is presented by Deloitte and sponsored by WilmerHale, NASDAQ and UK Trade & Investment, in association with media sponsors PR Newswire and Washington SmartCEO Magazine.
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
