Computer Enterprises, Inc. Named One of New York's Fastest
Growing Technology Companies in 2003 by Deloitte & Touche's
"Fast 50" Program
Yonkers, N.Y., September 14, 2003 - Austin Computer Enterprises,
Inc. has been named to Deloitte & Touche's prestigious
"Fast 50" Program for New York, a ranking of the
50 fastest growing technology companies in New York, Westchester
and Rockland counties. Rankings are based on five-year percentage
revenue growth (1998-2002). These companies, which impact
a broad spectrum of industries, are defying conventional
wisdom by consistently expanding their revenues over a substantial
period of time.
Austin Computer Enterprises Inc. (Company) has been rapidly
growing over the past 10 years, and is positioned to have
another very large growth spurt. Spending millions of dollars
of our own capital on research and development, they have
tested vertical markets, marketing and sales concepts, built
a stable production facility (located co-terminously with
EZ-Pass) and a solid team with core competency. The company
grows and shrinks along with the revenue cycles, which keeps
them lean, mean and a well-oiled machine. You do not win
the Deloitte and Touche NY Fast 50 Technology award for
the past three consecutive years while remaining profitable
without solid strategic planning and leadership.
The Company discovered early the importance of being able
to build an application in a time frame that distinguished
itself from competitors while offering the same level of
service, stability and security. To achieve rapid development
and deployment, the Company designed and implemented a proprietary
architecture using a strict methodology that dynamically
generates functional screens for an application. This architecture
utilizes the open nature of Internet standards to allow
client access on virtually any appliance adhering to these
standards and future migration to the latest technologies
like PDA devices and smart phones.
The Company's business model is based on being an Application
Service Provider (ASP). They have developed products running
in our production environments for large Fortune 100 corporations
and municipalities. The Company's architecture utilizes
the open nature of Internet standards that permits client
access from virtually any appliance adhering to these standards
combined with migration to the latest technologies such
as PDA devices and Smart Phones. The Company's software
suites empower the end users to operate anywhere in the
world on Private Virtual Networks. For any business entity,
creating and maintaining a data system in-house can be costly,
time consuming to develop and not secure when operational.
This challenge poses an insurmountable task to an organization
that does not primarily associate itself with technology
or possess the significant resources necessary to undertake
such a task. Since hardware and software technologies are
growing exponentially, very few of these technologies are
being utilized to their full potential. The Company solves
this dilemma by delivering proven solutions that utilize
the latest technologies, without requiring its client to
provide the major IT infrastructure investments normally
required to install multiple generations of new systems.
The Company hosts these applications while eliminating
the high cost of facilities, implementation, maintenance,
backups, monitoring, redundancy and technology training.
Clients can focus on the day to day core business needs,
while relying on the Company's seasoned full time staff
of database administrators, network specialist and application
developers.
