Deal #1: Integrian

Integrian #1 in Southeast:
From Pete Durand CEO, "Last night, Integrian was honored to receive the award for the Fastest Growing Company in the region, as determined by Price Waterhouse Coopers and the Triangle Business Journal. The event was the “Fast 50” awards Gala at the Embassy Suites in Cary, NC. There were 650 people in attendance in an “Oscars” type atmosphere. The 50 companies were ranked 1-50 and they did a countdown format by announcing #50 all the way through #1. The best part is that nobody knew who the winner would be. The tension mounted as fantastic company after fantastic company was honored, yet the question remained – “Who is #1?”. Finally, they announced Integrian as the fastest growing company, and played a very professional video about the business. I was honored to accept the award on behalf of all of our employees worldwide.


The real honor is how the award was determined. Rather than a popularity contest, this reward is based on actual financial data, reviewed by PWC and crunched in an objective formula. So, based on % revenue growth, $ revenue growth, and profit growth over the past three years, Integrian was the fastest growing company of the 50 finalists – and there were hundreds of companies reviewed."
