Interface Software Named One of Chicagoland's Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 50 Program For Third Consecutive Year

Unique focus on Relationship Intelligence fuels CRM for professional services and company's 350 percent revenue growth

OAK BROOK (IL) 29 September, 2003: Interface Software has been named to Deloitte & Touche's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Chicagoland, 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 1998-2002.

Interface Software's president and CEO, Nathan Fineberg, credits the company's focus on Relationship Intelligence as the key driver to CRM success within professional services firms and similar relationship-based organizations with the company's 350 percent revenue growth from 1998-2002. "We have been successful in identifying a unique need within the CRM industry that had gone unfulfilled — that of the professional who relies upon Relationship Intelligence to uncover new business opportunities, cross-sell more effectively and enhance client service," said Fineberg. "By assembling a talented team capable of building, supporting and marketing, InterAction, our market-leading Relationship Intelligence solution, we have been able to sustain 350 percent growth over the last five years, despite challenging economic conditions. Being named to the Fast 50 program for the third year in a row, and ranking as the 13th fastest growing company in Chicagoland this year underscores these accomplishments."

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1998 and $1,000,000 in 2002, 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 (using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify); and/or devoting a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology.

"In today's economy, triple-digit percentage revenue growth is an exceptional accomplishment," said Gerald P. Sullivan, Deloitte & Touche's lead industry partner, technology, media & telecommunications. "We commend Interface Software for making the commitment to technology and delivering on the promise of market longevity. We are proud to honor Interface Software as a Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 50 winner."

Winners of the 20 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest growing technology companies.
