SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2000

Captiva Software Corporation, the market leader in enterprise information capture software, has been named to the prestigious "Orange County / San Diego Fast 50" program, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area. Rankings are based on the percent growth in revenues from 1995 - 1999. This is the third consecutive year Captiva has been included on this list.

The Orange County / San Diego Fast 50 is an annual awards program that recognizes the fastest growing technology companies in Southern California's Orange and San Diego counties. Deloitte & Touche audits revenue growth of private and public companies over the previous five years. The ranking includes companies from all segments of technology, from biotech to computers, so it provides an exciting snapshot of the industries that are driving the world economy. "Today, there are more than 22,000 high technology companies in the U.S., many of whom are competing for the same markets here in the states and worldwide. The Fast 50 winners for Orange County and San Diego have proven that they can compete successfully by consistently delivering technological wonders, " said James Fazio, Partner San Diego High Technology Group for Deloitte & Touche.

"We are honored to be included, once again, in the Fast 50," said Reynolds C. Bish, President and CEO of Captiva. "This reflects the hard work of our staff throughout the company and validates our successful product and business strategy. Over the past five years our business has expanded dramatically, not only in the United States, but worldwide as well."

"The Fast 50 recognizes the fastest growing regional technology companies whose leaders have the vision and determination to build companies that contribute to the world with long term solutions," continued Fazio. "To attain a listing on the Fast 50, especially for three years in a row, is certainly an honor and Deloitte & Touche congratulates Captiva for this accomplishment."
