Digital Motorworks Ranked Among the Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Texas

    AUSTIN, Texas--Nov. 6, 2001--Digital Motorworks (DMi) has been named to Deloitte & Touche's 2001 Texas Crescent Technology Fast 50 Program, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the state.
    Rankings are based on the percentage of revenue growth for the five-year period from 1996-2000. DMi's CEO, Keith Jezek, credits the company's 704% revenue growth to its automotive expertise and application service provider (ASP) business model.
    According to Jezek, "Since 1995, DMi has focused on delivering the highest quality data to its automotive customers. We have been successful in signing major automotive clients like Ford and General Motors because we have the automotive expertise to address their information management problems efficiently and because we provide our InfoIQSM solution through a highly reliable and affordable ASP model."
    "To rank among the Deloitte & Touche Texas Crescent Technology Fast 50, companies must have phenomenal revenue growth in a five-year period," said Sandy Rothe, managing partner for technology and communications for Deloitte & Touche. "DMi has proven to be one of the fast-growth success stories in Texas, and we applaud their success and vision."
    Companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1996 and $1,000,000 in 2000 in order to quality for the Fast 50. In addition, they must be public or private companies headquartered in Texas and they must produce technology, manufacture a technology product, or devote a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.
