N° 2 in the “Deloitte Technology Fast 50”

25. October 2010

AOE media takes 2nd place at this year’s Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Award. The Fast 50 gives a ranking of the fastest growing technology companies in Germany. Positions in the ranking were based on a company’s percentage growth in turnover in the five-year period from 2005 to 2009 inclusive. Within this timeframe, AOE media grew by a stunning 2,673%.

“This exceptional result confirms that our strategy of offering future-proof solutions of the highest technical quality is the right way to go,” says AOE media’s Managing Director Kian T. Gould. “Believe me, in the short-lived world of Internet agencies, where quality is often forced to take a back seat to design and price, this is not something you can take for granted!”

Coming so soon after their 2nd place in the BVDW growth ranking table of Internet agencies in April, this is further significant recognition for the Open-Source service provider from Wiesbaden.

In the words of Dieter Schlereth, Partner and Industry Leader TMT at Deloitte: “Our prizewinners are concrete proof that technology firms can not only establish themselves, but also flourish in future-oriented markets, even in economically difficult times. Balancing a willingness to take risks with sound business sense, they have systematically and successfully turned their vision into reality.”
