Digital Motorworks Ranked Among the Fastest-Growing Technology Companies in North America by Deloitte & Touche

    AUSTIN, Texas--Nov. 14, 2002--Digital Motorworks (DMi) has been named as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in North America by Deloitte & Touche.
    The Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500 rankings are based on revenue growth for the five-year period from 1997-2001. With a growth rate of 857 percent over that time period, DMi ranks 390th on this year's list. DMi's CEO Keith Jezek credits the commitment of his staff and the company's application service provider (ASP) model for DMi's growth.
    "2001 was a great year for DMi," Jezek said. "With significant improvements in our core InfoIQ(SM) technology and the expansion of our organization, we gained many important new clients, received several awards, and solidified strategic alliances."
    "It is a testament to our people and technology that, even in a poor economic market, DMi was able to continue its impressive growth trend. Our data integration services transcend economic cycles and are crucial to facilitating the core business processes of clients such as Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Toyota, and Nissan," Jezek added.
    Mark A. Evans, managing director of Deloitte & Touche's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group, said "With its ranking on the prestigious Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500, DMi's leaders have proven that they have the vision and the fortitude to excel in the highly competitive technology industry.
