Deloitte & Touche Ranks Purcell Systems 99th in North America

Spokane Valley, WA, October 24, 2005 - Purcell Systems announced it has ranked Number 99 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America. Purcell's revenue grew by 2,292 percent over the requisite five-year period of 2000–2004.

Purcell Systems' CEO, Pete Chase, attributes the company's considerable success to effective customer service. "Purcell focuses on our relationships with customers and vendors in order to complete requests and orders on time and accurately. None of that's possible without a commitment to speed and flexibility." Chase added, "Our 2,292 percent revenue growth also is related largely to our employees' innovative knowledge of the telecom field and the high priority Purcell places on customer service; this combination of know-how and service guarantees overall customer satisfaction with not just the finished product but the entire business relationship. Growth is more than getting business; it's keeping business."

"Attracting enough customers to attain such a fast growth over five years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company's product and its leadership," said Tony Kern, deputy national managing principal and Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. "Purcell Systems has shown the right stuff for growth."

In addition to ranking on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500, Purcell Systems ranked ninth on the Technology Fast 50 program for Washington State, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche LLP.

"Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is commendable in today's highly competitive technology industry," added Kern.  "We congratulate Purcell Systems on being one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America."
