Acsys Receives 3rd Connecticut Fast 50 Award by Deloitte and Touche

Acsys has been named to Deloitte & Touche's prestigious "Technology Fast 50" Program for the Northeast, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues from 1998-2002. This marks the third consecutive year that Acsys has received this honor.

"Despite a challenging economic climate, Acsys has grown consistently over the past several years by finding innovative ways to help clients use Web technologies to reduce costs, heighten productivity, and increase revenue," said Acsys President and CTO Stan Valencis.  "We continue to maintain a client retention rate in excess of 95 percent, and we are grateful to our clients for making our success possible".

To qualify for the Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1998 and $1,000,000 in 2002, must be public or private companies headquartered in Connecticut, and be "technology companies," defined as companies that own proprietary technology which contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues or devotes a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.

Winners of the 20 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology companies.
