Dante Consulting Named One of Virginia's Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Program.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- Dante Consulting has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Virginia, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services firms. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over five years, from 1999-2003. Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr is the sponsor for this year's Virginia Technology Fast 50 program and PR Newswire is the official media partner.

Dante Consulting's CEO, Pierre Malko, credits Dante's vision and execution with the company's 576% revenue growth from 1999-2003. Malko said, "Our innovative approach to solving complex system integration problems has enabled us to be successful where others usually fail. Our ability to deliver on our commitments to our clients in a predictable manner has resulted in significant growth from repeat business and referrals."

Gary Tabach, Office Managing Partner for Deloitte's McLean, Virginia office said, "In an era where technology companies come and go, making the Deloitte Fast 50 is a testament to a company's vision that allows growth over five years. Dante Consulting's leadership has the right stuff for growth and Deloitte salutes their accomplishments."

Dante Consulting's increase in revenues of 576% from 1999 to 2003 resulted in a 21 ranking in the Fast 50 for Virginia.

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1999 and $1,000,000 in 2003, must be public or private companies headquartered in North America, and be a "technology company" defined as owning proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; and/or devoting a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology.

Winners of the 19 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology companies.
