Hotel Technology Next Generation

"Our clients and the hospitality industry in general were at economic ground-zero after 9/11," comments Ed Booth, President and CEO of IDeaS. "Our proudest achievements have been to maintain our customer loyalty, overhaul our business structure, develop new products, grow our revenue and reach profitability in the extremely difficult aftermath of 9/11."

"Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is a testament to a company's commitment to technology," said Mark A. Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. "With its 1,194 percent growth rate over five years, IDeaS has proven that its leadership has the vision and determination to grow in difficult conditions."

Fast 500 Selection and Qualifications - The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte's 20 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500 and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 1998 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively; and 2002 operating revenues must be at least $1 million USD or CD. Deloitte researchers examined financial statements to validate operating revenues.

Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in North America and must be a "technology company," defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
