Severa Picked #4 in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 with 1,300% Growth

Nov. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- New York, NY -- Severa Corporation (www.severa.com), a leader in professional services automation and project management tools, received 4th place in Deloitte`s Technology Fast 50 program with a staggering 1,304 percent revenue growth achieved in the last five years.

The Technology Fast 50 is a subset of the Technology Fast 500 program, and ranks the fastest growing technology, media and telecommunication companies in Finland based on a five-year relative growth in revenue.

Technology Fast 50 program identifies promising technology companies, and Severa’s inclusion in the top ranks is especially noteworthy because Severa’s superb growth was generated exclusively from internal financing without outside investors or private equity.

”We’re honored to receive such a high ranking by Deloitte Fast 50, and we’d like to thank our customers for making it possible,” said Ari-Pekka Salovaara, CEO of Severa Corporation. “I believe we’ll continue to grow at a healthy pace as new users find our service and realize the benefits it brings to their businesses. Many small- and medium-sized professional services organizations, the SOHO and the SMB, don’t have a handy tool for project management and services automation. The lack of an adequate system can be crucial. By automating everyday routine office procedures, they find Severa an easy solution that frees up more time for core business essentials.”

It simplifies project management, automates billing processes, optimizes resource utilization and eliminates revenue leakage.
