Lanham, MD (Vocus/PRWEB ) October 3, 2007 -- Vocus, Inc., (NASDAQ: VOCS) a leading provider of on-demand software for public relations management, today announced that it has been named one of Maryland's 50 fastest growing technology companies on Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Maryland. The Technology Fast 50 is a ranking by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations, of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in Maryland based on the percentage of revenue growth from 2002-2006.
"Vocus is proud to be named to Deloitte's Fast 50 for the eleventh consecutive year," said Rick Rudman, chief executive officer at Vocus, Inc. "The company's consistent growth over the years is a testament to the talent of our employees, our SaaS business model and our commitment to ongoing innovation."
"To rank on Deloitte's Technology Fast 50, companies must have phenomenal revenue growth over five years," said Gary Tabach, Managing Partner of Deloitte's Greater Washington practice. "Vocus has proven to be one of the fast-growth success stories in Maryland, and we applaud their dedication to making their vision a reality."
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered in Maryland, 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.
