Attributes Innovation and Execution to 1,055 Percent Revenue Growth
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2008
- Fortinet® - the pioneer and leading provider of unified threat management (UTM) solutions -
has been named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program for Silicon Valley Internet, Media, Entertainment and Communications companies. This year's Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 program was co-presented by Deloitte, Silicon Valley Bank, Korn/Ferry International, Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, Cornish & Carey Client Solutions, and ABD Insurance and Financial Services - A Wells Fargo Company. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from fiscal year 2003-2007.
"Being part of the Deloitte Fast 50 for the third year running is strong validation of the hard work and dedication of our employees and the deepening confidence of our customers," said Ken Xie, Fortinet founder, president and CEO. "As an eight-year old company, our 1,000+ percent growth and twenty-first place ranking tells an even bigger story: strong growth on a substantial revenue base continues as a result of larger deals with enterprises, telcos and service providers around the globe."
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in fiscal year 2003 and $5,000,000 in fiscal year 2007, be headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, 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.
Companies from the 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.
