Touche
DENVER, October 27, 2008 - Virtela, the global
network solutions company, today announced it was recognized as the
15th fastest-growing company in Deloitte's Technology Fast 50
Program for Colorado. With its innovative multi-carrier network
model, Virtela delivers the world's fastest, most reliable and
flexible managed services, and the company's steady revenue growth
validates the success of this unique model.
Each year Deloitte LLP, one of the nation's leading professional
services organizations, recognizes the 50 fastest-growing
technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies
based on percentage revenue growth over five years. The winners
demonstrate a level of talent and innovation that stands out from
the competition, and they are the companies setting the pace for
the development of new technologies and business strategies across
industries.
"Deloitte's Colorado Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the
strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today's very
competitive technology environment," said Kurt Randall, Deloitte
Tax LLP, and chair of the 2008 Colorado Technology Fast 50. "We
applaud the successes of Virtela and acknowledge it as one of the
very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five
years."
"Virtela made a big bet early on with a virtual network model
and this multi-carrier approach continues to prove itself as we
bring on new customers and partners steadily, even during the
current economic downturn," said Steve King, president and CEO of
Virtela. We're honored by this recognition from Deloitte and look
forward to continuing our momentum in the managed network and
security services space moving into 2009."
