IXEurope in top 500 EMEA technology growth awards IXEurope, Europe’s specialist datacentre company, today announced that it ranked in the 2006 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA, a listing of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Europe, Middle East and Africa.
At last night's glittering awards ceremony at the Palais Brongniart, Paris, Deloitte announced IXEurope’s position as a result of 281% revenue growth over five years, from 2001-2005.
“Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking is a testament to a company’s commitment to technology,” Eric Morgain, partner in charge of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 EMEA program. “With its 281% growth rate over five years, IXEurope has proven that its leadership has the vision and determination to grow in difficult conditions.”
IXEurope's CEO, Guy Willner, believes that the company's growth over the past six years is a testament to the fact that the company has been built on a sound business plan, an innovative yet considered strategy and the backing of a strong management team.
He said "Being recognised as one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in Europe is a magnificent achievement for the team. IXEurope continues to grow at a faster rate than all other significant competitors in the European market and we are now the only quoted datacentre services company in Europe."
"The team has shown tremendous commitment to providing high levels of service to our customers and we are delighted that our dedication has paid off. Securing a place on these high profile league tables clearly demonstrates how IXEurope has remained dynamic and thrived."
Fast 500 Selection and Qualifications
The Technology Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte’s EMEA Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 2001 operating revenues of at least €50,000 and 2005 operating revenues of at least €800,000. Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in EMEA 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.
