FAIRFAX, VA … October 19, 2005 – ServiceBench, Inc., the leading provider of web-based service supply chain management applications, has been named to Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 500 Program, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years from 2000-2004.
ServiceBench’s CEO, Michael Dering, credits the Company’s customers for its ongoing success. He said, “We are thrilled to be recognized in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. As this impressive list shows, the technology sector – which is not only about solving problems, but creating new opportunities for business – is thriving. In our case, the partnerships we have formed with our customers have allowed the application of ServiceBench’s technology to help revolutionize the entire service supply chain for a myriad of industries.”
“Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is commendable in today’s highly competitive technology industry,” said Tony Kern, deputy national managing principal of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. “We congratulate ServiceBench on being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America.”
In addition to ranking on Deloitte’s Technology fast 500, ServiceBench was also recently named one of Virginia’s fastest growing technology companies in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 for the Virginia region.
The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte’s 15 regional North American Fast 50 lists, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 2000 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD or $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively, and 2004 operating revenues of at least $1 million USD or CD.
Entrants must be headquartered in North America and must be a “technology company,” defined as a company that owns proprietary technology 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 in a unique way does not qualify.
