DigitalGrit Named One of New Jersey’s Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program

Attributes its 638 percent revenue growth to staff dedication.

(PRWEB) August 23, 2006 -- For the second consecutive year, DigitalGrit has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for New Jersey, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2001–2005. DigitalGrit’s increase in revenues of 638 percent from 2001 to 2005 resulted in a #25 ranking in the Technology Fast 50 for New Jersey.

Co-Founders Dan Lynn and Scott Goldthwaite credit the hard work and dedication of DigitalGrit’s staff with the company's 638 percent revenue growth from 2001–2005. Lynn said, “We’re extremely excited to be recognized once again as one of the fastest growing technology companies in New Jersey. Our team has worked incredibly hard, developing and delivering a powerful set of interactive marketing and analytics technologies and services to enable our clients -- companies like ADP, Sony, Digene and Wynn Las Vegas -- to drive sales results and build their brands on the Internet.”

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2001 and $5,000,000 in 2005, be headquartered in North America, 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.

Winners of the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
