One of Only 6 New England Firms This Year to Have Been a

Three-Time "Fast 50" Winner; Recognizes DYS Analytics for its

Outstanding Revenue Growth in Past Five Years

DYS Analytics, Inc., the leader in messaging management and optimization solutions, today announced that it has been named to Deloitte & Touche's prestigious "Technology Fast 50" program for New England, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area. DYS Analytics was one of only six New England firms on this year's list to have been a three-time winner. Rankings are based on the percentage growth in fiscal year revenues in the five-year period 1997 - 2001.

DYS Analytics' CEO Marco Farsheed attributes the company's 815 percent revenue growth from 1997 through 2001 on its unique focus on optimizing large globally-distributed enterprise messaging networks and its ability to deliver fast return on investment (ROI). DYS' five-year increase in revenues resulted in a #32 ranking overall in the Fast 50 for New England.

"We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte & Touche and Hale and Dorr for our strong performance over the years," said Marco Farsheed, CEO of DYS Analytics. "Enterprises can't function without efficient messaging networks, and our industry-leading expertise in optimizing messaging and collaboration networks positions us for continued strong growth in the future."

DYS CONTROL! solutions let IT managers automate the tracking, measuring, trending, reporting and analysis of messaging traffic on collaborative platforms such as IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange. Armed with these metrics, IT professionals can accelerate strategic projects like platform upgrades, server consolidations, topology redesigns and merger/acquisition-related network changes. By having a complete picture of their traffic, usage and performance, they can proactively manage their network, dramatically reduce operational costs and improve messaging performance levels.

"In today's economy, triple-digit percentage revenue growth is an exceptional accomplishment," said Steve DiPietro, partner, Deloitte & Touche's Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice, and co-chair of the New England Technology Fast 50 program. "We at Deloitte & Touche commend DYS Analytics for proving to be one of the fast-growth success stories in New England, and we applaud the company's success and vision."
