zetVisions in the Top 10 of Deloitte Technology Fast 50 – Germany’s Fastest-Growing High-Tech Company

With a growth rate of 1,542 percent, the Heidelberg-based software specialist captures sixth place in this year’s ranking

Düsseldorf/Heidelberg, October 23, 2008: In this year’s nomination for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 – the ranking for the fastest-growing technology companies in Germany – zetVisions AG captured sixth place (cf. Deloitte listing in the web). This makes the Heidelberg-based software specialist for Corporate Investment Management solutions the great rising star in the greater metropolitan Rhine-Neckar region. The award was handed out in Düsseldorf yesterday evening.

The rankings are based on the cumulative revenue growth percentages over the past five years (2003–2007). zetVisions was able to achieve a growth of 1,541.8 percent during that period.

Marko Albrecht, chairman of the board of zetVisions AG, has this to say about his company’s positive revenue growth: “By pursuing a persistent product strategy and bolstering it with acquisitions, we have consistently expanded our position as Europe’s leading provider of Corporate Investment Management software. To continue on our successful course, we rely on our motivated, highly qualified staff. Since our company was founded, our number of employees has grown steadily, and we will continue to look for more specialists in the field of software development in the future. That alone is a reason for us to be extremely pleased about the award from Deloitte. It is confirmation for our clients as well as for our staff that we are moving in the right direction.”

“This year’s ranking clearly demonstrates that we are heading into a new age of convergence between tried-and-true and alternative technologies,” explains Dieter Schlereth, a partner and director of technology, media, and telecommunications at Deloitte. “Specialized technological innovations win over the end consumers as well as the business market, as the impressive growth figures of the Fast 50 nominations, the Rising Stars, as well as the Sustained Excellence Award winners clearly demonstrate.”

The average cumulative growth rate of all Fast 50 companies this year is 913 percent.
