“This year’s winners,” said Tanchel, “are embracing technologies such as smart phones, cloud computing, virtualisation, infrastructure as a service, and robotics to improve efficiencies and reduce operational costs for their clients.
“They have also faced the challenges of difficult economic conditions and triumphed. Our program recognises 50 companies who are some of the most resilient and fastest growing in the Australian technology industry. This group of companies managed to stay focused and to prosper in the face of increased uncertainty and complexity,” said Tanchel.
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program, now in its ninth year, ranks the 50 fastest growing public or private technology companies, based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2007 to 2009).
Total revenue for this year’s Fast 50 winners was approximately $1.1 billion, which is a 19.2% increase from the previous year.
Companies in the index exude resilience in the face of what, for some of them, was an unprecedented period of disruption and uncertainty. Their tenacity, combined with an innovative approach to face challenges such as keeping abreast of emerging technologies and making conscious decisions to maximise growth by providing compelling value added services to clients is inspiring,” added Mr Tanchel.
The keynote speaker at the awards ceremony was Domenic Carosa, the founder and CEO of Dominet Digital, a boutique investment and consulting group with a focus on digital, innovation and investments.
