Here's an interesting list from Forbes. It's a Viant release but the additional companies are included further in the release. Viant Named One of the Best-Managed, Fastest-Growing Tech Companies in the World by Forbes ASAP "Ramp Champs" Survey BUSINESS WIRE - April 05, 2000 08:09 BOSTON, Apr 5, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Viant Corp. (Nasdaq: VIAN), a leading builder of digital business, today announced that it has been named one of the 20 best-managed, fastest-growing tech companies in the world by the first annual Forbes ASAP "Ramp Champs" survey. The Forbes ASAP survey, announced in the April 3 cover story, honors 20 of the world's leading technology companies. "We are thrilled with the outcome of the Forbes ASAP survey," said Bob Gett, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viant. "Viant's dedication to managed organic growth, aggressive investments in recruitment and training, and the incredible market demand for our leading edge creative, strategic and technology consulting services has helped propel Viant to profitability ahead of many of its competitors." Underscoring Viant's commitment to managed growth is its strong belief in client satisfaction. A recent third-party survey of Viant clients uncovered strong levels of satisfaction -- 100% of clients surveyed agree that Viant made a significant contribution in helping them achieve their digital business goals -- demonstrating the result of Viant's uncompromising commitment to client service through continuous innovation and impeccable execution. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 1999, 76% of Viant's revenue came from follow-on work for existing clients, another indication of high client satisfaction. Forbes ASAP began its survey by starting with a list of 100 of the fastest-growing technology, telecommunications and biotech companies, based on year-over-year sales growth. To narrow the list down to 20 firms, Forbes ASAP asked almost 200 analysts to help them rate the 100 fastest growers based on four factors: management, finances, market opportunity and competitive position. Forbes ASAP then combined those scores with a score based on each company's growth rate and, in the end, they had 20 of the fast-growing firms that achieved the highest scores. Among this year's top 20 were: Critical Path (Nasdaq: CPTH), Covad Communications (Nasdaq: COVD), ImageX.com (Nasdaq: IMGX), VerticalNet (Nasdaq:VERT), USInternetworking (Nasdaq: USIX), Accrue Software (Nasdaq: ACRU), Redback Networks (Nasdaq: RBAK), FutureLink (Nasdaq: FTRL), Commerce One (Nasdaq: CMRC), Ancor Communications (Nasdaq: ANCR), E.Piphany (Nasdaq: EPNY), Net Perceptions (Nasdaq: NETP), StarMedia Network (Nasdaq: STRM) and Juniper Networks (Nasdaq: JNPR).
