Blue Pumpkin Named To Prestigious Deloitte Technology Fast 500 List
Blue Pumpkin, an industry leader in enterprise workforce optimization solutions, today announced being named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list of the fastest growing technology companies in North America, attesting to the company's leadership and rapid success in driving the workforce optimization market.
The ranking is based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth for five years (1999–2003), as determined by Deloitte & Touche LLP. Blue Pumpkin recorded a five-year revenue growth of over 300% to make it on the prestigious list – beating out numerous other public and private companies across the United States and Canada during the most difficult economic times.
"This honor validates the extraordinary and increasingly visible success that our workforce optimization solutions have in solving critical problems common to nearly every customer service organization," said Doron Aspitz, chairman and chief executive officer of Blue Pumpkin. "Our place on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list is also a testament to our customer-driven strategy and track record of innovations, such as our performance management solutions."
"Attracting enough customers to maintain triple digit growth over five years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company's product and its leadership," said Mark Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. "Blue Pumpkin has shown the right stuff for growth."
Supporting Deloitte & Touche's conclusions, Blue Pumpkin recently captured the greatest market share worldwide in workforce management software licenses, a feat achieved in less than seven years since its founding. The company also dominated the industry by securing leadership positions in strategic emerging markets, such as India. Extending its reputation for industry-first innovations, Blue Pumpkin recently launched several new solutions and has captured additional awards, from "Best of Show" to "Product of the Year" product honors.
The Fast 500 is compiled from Deloitte's 19 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. Winners are selected based on the percentage of growth in revenues from 1999 to 2003.
