Lanham, MD (PRWEB) November 12, 2008 -- Vocus, Inc. (http://www.vocus.com/content/index.asp), (NASDAQ: VOCS) a leading provider of on-demand software for public relations management (www.vocus.com/content/publicrelations.asp), today announced that it has been named one of North America's 500 fastest growing technology companies on Deloitte's prestigious 2008 Technology Fast 500 Program. The award recognizes and ranks the fastest growing technology companies in the United States based on the percentage of revenue growth from 2003-2007.

"Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 recognizes companies who have achieved extraordinary growth in North America's most innovative and competitive market sectors," said Phil Asmundson, Deloitte LLP vice chairman and national managing partner for Technology, Media and Telecommunications. "Each company is an innovator with an exceptional five-year track record of growth."

"We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte as one of North America's fastest growing companies," said Rick Rudman, chief executive officer at Vocus, Inc. "Vocus' innovation, great management team and exceptional employees have helped us consistently grow throughout our history and will help us continue our momentum."

To qualify for the award, companies must have had base-year operating revenues of at least $50,000, and current-year operating revenues must be at least $5 million, 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.

In addition to ranking on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500, Vocus was also recently named to Maryland's Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in the area.
