Broadspire Repeats As Member Of 2004 Deloitte& Touche‘Fast 50’ – Ranks 25th Among Los Angeles’ Fastest Growing Technology Companies [September 22, 2004]

LOS ANGELES (September 22, 2004) – BroadSpire (www.broadspire.com), a leading managed IT services provider, today announced that it has been named the 25th fastest growing technology company in Los Angeles by Deloitte & Touche's prestigious 2004 Technology Fast 50 program, a ranking of the region’s 50 fastest growing technology companies.

In 2003, BroadSpire ranked 17th on the Deloitte & Touche Los Angeles Technology Fast 50. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues over five years, from 1999-2003. Deloitte & Touche LLP is one of the nation’s leading professional services firms.

Suresh Srinivasan, BroadSpire president and co-founder, attributed the company's sustained growth to a combination of dedicated customer service and proven technology for businesses of virtually any size, from small business to the enterprise. BroadSpire provides business-critical managed Web and application hosting services that enable organizations to improve their overall efficiency; lower costs; improve communications with customers and partners; comply with corporate, industry and government regulations; and secure their critical business processes online.

"Being named to the Fast 50 program for the second year in a row is a tremendous honor," said Srinivasan. “Our ranking confirms that our broad range of solutions, competitive pricing and significant R&D investments, along with our staunch devotion to customer service, is helping BroadSpire expand into new markets and improve market share. As one case in point, our managed email service is helping us solve many of the problems that enterprises face managing their email in the legal, manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, and banking sectors.”

"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,” said Tim Lovoy, Deloitte partner, Technology, Media & Telecommunications practice, Los Angeles. “BroadSpire’s leadership team has the right stuff for growth, and Deloitte salutes their accomplishments.” In addition to BroadSpire’s ranking on Deloitte & Touche’s 2004 Technology Fast 50, the company will be profiled in a special report distributed by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
