Aptela is Proud to be Recognized as a Deloitte Technology Fast 500(TM)

Posted by: Doug Strahan

This is an exciting week for Aptela. For the third year in a row, Aptela has been recognized by the Technology Fast 500^TM, Deloitte's ranking of 500 of the fastest growing companies in North America. These rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth during the period from 2005-2009. During this timeframe, Aptela grew 502%, giving us a ranking of 197th on the 2010 Fast 500^TM list and confirming us as one of the fastest growing tech companies in the communications industry. In addition, Deloitte recognized us as the 10th fastest growing company in the Mid Atlantic region!

We could not have grown so rapidly were it not for the dedication and perseverance of our employees. Each and every day, we're pushing each other to innovate and creatively solve problems. A fast growth company requires talented, hardworking employees that band together to build the business. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by the best of the best!

In addition, we simply could not have achieved such exponential growth without the financial backing of Aptela's investors. With their help, we have grown from a boot strapped start-up offering hosted VoIP to a profitable service provider delivering business-class communication services from the cloud.

Our ability to continue to grow and deliver the best solution available in the market is based on two core principles:

• Outstanding Customer Service: We are committed to providing an outstanding customer experience from the first time we talk to prospects through service activation and ongoing support.
• Innovation: We pride ourselves on delivering an innovative market-leading solution. Earlier this year, we launched our Aptela v5 platform to move our services to the cloud and provide our customers with a reliable, extensible and mobile solution that is available anywhere anytime. Since that time, we've added Aptela Anywhere Apps, a new Department Dashboard, Cisco phones and much more. We look forward to adding even more functionality in the coming months to support our customers' needs.
