MBA Biz Acclaro Named To Deloitte's Technology Fast 50 Program

Acclaro Inc., a leading provider of translation and localization solutions for global business, has been recognized as the fourth fastest growing company in Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for New York. The Fast 50 is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2002–2006.

“Deloitte’s New York Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today’s very competitive technology environment,” said Ed Moran, Director, Product Innovation, Deloitte Services LP, New York. “We applaud the successes of Acclaro and acknowledge it as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years.”

CEO Michael Kriz, MBA Class of 2000, credits the dramatic growth to Acclaro’s unique approach to helping companies build custom translation and product localization solutions that allow them to capitalize on the enormous economic trends of globalization. “Globalization is a key driver that has not only fueled the dramatic growth of our company, but the growth of our clients as well,” said Kriz. To meet the demand Acclaro has invested in technology, processes and - most importantly - people, to create custom-built programs that deliver better quality and value to long-term clients that include Sony, SAP, Yahoo!, CareerBuilder, and many others.

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered in North America, and own proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues.

Companies from the 16 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.
