/24-7PressRelease/ - RICHARDSON, TX, August 28, 2006 — Glow Networks, Inc. has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Texas Technology Fast 50 Program, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in Texas 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.
"Sustaining high revenue growth over five years is an exceptional accomplishment. We commend Glow Networks for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity. We are proud to honor Glow Networks as a Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner," said Skip Moore, Regional Managing Partner, Technology, Media and Telecommunications, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Glow Networks President, Dr. Jay Srinivasan credits customer focus, quality and responsiveness with the company's 319 percent revenue growth from 2001-2005. Dr. Srinivasan said, "Over the past few years, Glow Networks has significantly expanded its service portfolio, added prestigious new accounts to its clientele and deepened its relationships with some of the leading telecom equipment vendors. While technology is at the heart of our solutions, our ultimate product is financial value to our customers. We are more committed than ever to help our customers save and make money with improvements to the efficiencies in our solutions."
Glow Networks' increase in revenues of 319 percent from 2001 to 2005 resulted in a 42nd ranking in the Texas Technology Fast 50. The average increase in revenues among companies who made the Texas Technology Fast 50 for this region was 2,225 percent.
To qualify for the Texas 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 Texas, 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.
