Emantra, a private cloud computing internet service provider, who had record revenue growth of 1756.3% over the last year, is the winner of the 2009 Deloitte Technology Fast 50.
Joshua Tanchel, leader of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program said: “Emantra used the global economic downturn as a major advantage, as their customers turned to less costly owner-operated technology. The company’s managed services model was validated by their customer’s high expectations of their IT requirements, but with less money to spend.”
Cloud computing is a style of computing in which virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet.
The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program, now in its ninth year, ranks the 50 fastest growing public or private technology companies, based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2007 to 2009). See the full list of winners in the report.
“This year’s winners,” said Tanchel, “are embracing technologies such as smart phones, cloud computing, virtualisation, infrastructure as a service, and robotics to improve efficiencies and reduce operational costs for their clients.
“They have also faced the challenges of difficult economic conditions and triumphed. Our program recognises 50 companies who are some of the most resilient and fastest growing in the Australian technology industry. This group of companies managed to stay focused and to prosper in the face of increased uncertainty and complexity,” said Tanchel.
