Thunderhead Tops List of Fastest-Growing Technology Companies on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2008

Thunderhead, the enterprise communications software company, has won the coveted award of fastest growing technology company in the 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA.

London, UK - 26 November, 2008

The company achieved an unbeatable growth rate of 28,558 percent over the 2003-2007 period compared with an average growth rate of 1,297 percent for the same period of all companies ranked on the Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2008 Program.

This latest award comes on top of Thunderhead’s recognition last month in the Deloitte Fast 50 as the fastest-growing UK technology company and is a remarkable achievement for a company whose product was only launched towards the end of 2003.

Commenting on the Fast 500 award, Thunderhead CEO, Glen Manchester, says, “We are extremely proud to have come out top in such an impressive list of businesses and especially when in competition with some outstanding companies in Europe and Israel.”

“This is a great testament to our ground breaking technology, our customers’ vision and to the hard work and tremendous talent of our employees who have all played their part in helping us achieve this growth and recognition.”

The company’s highly innovative technology, called Thunderhead NOW, is being deployed by an ever increasing number of large organisations across the globe and in all industry sectors to meet the need for producing highly personalised customer communications on a mass scale in a fully automated and controlled way. Thunderhead NOW also ensures compliance and reduces operational risk through its unique approach to managing template content.

The solution’s ability to quickly and easily deliver customer communications through the full range of electronic and web-based channels, and to do so seamlessly alongside traditional print methods, is also increasing its appeal to companies looking to enhance customer service and increase competitive advantage whilst further reducing costs.

Replacing costly and cumbersome legacy systems, Thunderhead Now enables clients to reduce costs, streamline processes and improve customer service while empowering business users and freeing up highly skilled technical staff.  The result is rapid return on investment, typically achieved within one year for Thunderhead’s clients, on-going operational efficiency and a highly personalised, multi-channel approach to customer communications.

“Attracting enough customers to attain such fast growth over five years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company’s product and its leadership,” said Karel Bakkes, partner in charge of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 EMEA program. 

“Being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in EMEA is an impressive accomplishment and we commend Thunderhead for making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA with a phenomenal 28,558 percent growth over five years.”
