Fastest Growing
Technology Solution Providers in North America
Herndon, VA, September 18, 2007
 |
Apptix (OSE:APP), the
premier provider of on-demand business communications
solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs),
today announced that it has been recognized by CMP
Media's Computer Reseller News (CRN) as a "2007
Fast-Growth 100" company. The prestigious annual list
ranked technology solutions providers by revenue growth
for 2005 and 2006 and recognized the top 100 companies
that are developing custom applications, vertical market
solutions and generating industry-leading sales volume
in the technology services areas. Apptix moved up to #14
on the annual list, from last year's ranking of #36, by
achieving an astounding 272.63 percent two-year growth
rate and $20.7 million in revenues in 2006.
"Making the CRN 2007 Fast-Growth 100 list is a great
honor. Our success is a testament to our ability to
deliver versatile business communications solutions and
unsurpassed customer service that meet the unique needs
of the SMB market," said Amir Hudda, CEO of Apptix. "The
SMB market is just now realizing the benefits of the
Software as a Service (SaaS) model for enterprise-class
business communications solutions for Email, Voice,
Collaboration, Mobile Instant Messaging (IM) and Mobile
Messaging. Given our suite of Web-based solutions,
Apptix is perfectly positioned to continue to capitalize
on the growth within the on-demand market."
Over the past year, Apptix has taken concrete steps to
build out its comprehensive portfolio of business
communications solutions for the SMB market. The
company's unprecedented growth has been marked by
continued portfolio expansion through a series of
investments, including the acquisition of WebMessenger,
a technology leader in Mobile IM and Presence
Management, and Mi8, a long-time provider of on-demand
email and collaboration solutions. The foundation of
success built in 2006 has continued into 2007. Key
accomplishments in the first half of 2007 include:
- Launch of VoIP Services - In March, the Company
introduced Apptix Voice, a new hosted Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution, to provide customers
with reliable, affordable and feature-rich IP telephony
services. As announced, Apptix Voice is initially
available through its MailStreet division and is built
on the enterprise-class BroadSoft platform. Apptix Voice
is delivered through a SaaS model, similar to the
Company's email and collaboration solutions.
- Acquisition of WebMessenger - In May, Apptix announced
the acquisition of WebMessenger, Inc., a market-leading
technology company with a suite of Mobile IM products
that work across more devices, platforms, and public &
private IM networks than any other provider.
WebMessenger provides Apptix with market-ready mobile
messaging & collaboration products and extensive
engineering expertise in critical emerging Mobile IM and
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) markets.
- Sales Success - Apptix continued to attain both
bookings and revenue success throughout the first half
of 2007. In Q2 of 2007, the company achieved significant
bookings growth across its divisions of MailStreet,
ASP-One and Mi8, resulting in a net increase in
provisioned seats of 8% compared to 4% in the first
quarter, and an increase in monthly recurring revenue of
12% compared to 7% in the first quarter.

solution providers across all specialty areas and
business models. The profiles and data developed by

City, NY.
