Recognized for 302 Percent Revenue Growth since 2004
GLASTONBURY, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
Open Solutions Inc.®, a leading provider of integrated enabling technologies for
financial services providers throughout the United States, Canada and other
international markets, today announced that it has been ranked on the Technology
Fast 500, Deloitte LLP`s ranking of 500 of the fastest growing technology,
media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North
America. Rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth during
the five-year period from 2004-2008. Open Solutions grew more than 302 percent
during this period. 

In nearly two decades, Open Solutions has significantly expanded beyond its
beginnings in a Glastonbury, Conn. basement. In 2004, the company was the fifth
largest core provider, and by the end of 2006, Open Solutions was the
fastest-growing provider in the world. Open Solutions has continued to rapidly
expand, initiating a four-part transformation in 2007 to position the company
for the next 10 to 15 years. 

"Since 2004, we have encountered significant change that has positioned us well
for such excellent growth," said Louis Hernandez, Jr., Open Solutions` chairman
and CEO. "This award is validation of our hard work to move the company through
this transformation, and as a result, we are providing better service and
quality products. The latest release of our core platform, DNA, has yielded
significant adoption, and we plan to have our U.S. core clients running the new
version by year-end. We aim to continuously improve and grow to help financial
institutions not only navigate today`s economic environment, but also prepare
for the future of banking." 

In addition to Deloitte`s 2009 Technology Fast 500 ranking, Open Solutions was
also included in the 2009 Inc. 5000, the second consecutive year the company has
been recognized on the list for outstanding growth. The company expects even
more growth during the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. 

Technology Fast 500 Selection and Qualifying Criteria

Technology Fast 500 provides a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media,
telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North
America. This ranking is compiled from nominations submitted directly to the
Technology Fast 500 website, and public company database research conducted by
Deloitte LLP. Technology Fast 500 award winners for 2009 are selected based on
percentage fiscal year revenue growth during the five year period from 2004 to
2008. 

In order to be eligible for Technology Fast 500 recognition, companies must own
proprietary intellectual property or proprietary technology that contributes to
a significant portion of the company`s operating revenues. Using other
companies` technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not satisfy
this requirement. Consulting companies, professional service firms, etc. are not
eligible unless they have proprietary technology that contributes to a
significant portion of their operating revenues. 

Technology Fast 500 award eligibility requirements include a base-year operating
revenues of at least $50,000 USD or CD, and current-year operating revenues of
at least $5 million USD or CD. Additionally, these revenues must have more than
doubled between 2004 and 2008. Also, companies must be in business for a minimum
of five years, and be headquartered within North America.
