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.
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 as the UK’s fastest growing technology company in the Deloitte Fast 50 and is a remarkable achievement for a company whose product was only launched in late 2003.
The company’s highly innovative technology, called Thunderhead NOW, is being deployed by an ever-increasing number of large organizations across the globe. It enables all industry sectors to meet the need for producing highly personalized 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, while 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 personalized, multi-channel approach to customer communications.
