TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 03 (MARKET WIRE) --
Editors Note: A photo and video are included with this press release.
Fusepoint Managed Services, the leading provider of outsourced managed IT
and infrastructure services to mid-market organizations in Canada, has
been recognized in the 20th annual PROFIT 100 ranking of Canada's
Fastest-Growing Companies by PROFIT Magazine as number 46.
Fusepoint's revenue has grown 1,400% over the past five years, as over
400 new customers including The Canadian Football League, Bell Canada,
Fujitsu, Maple Leaf Foods, Colliers International, CIBC, Rogers
Communications, and the Royal Canadian Mint have all chosen Fusepoint's
fully managed and colocation services. Ranking Canada's Fastest-Growing
Companies by five-year revenue growth, the PROFIT 100 profiles the
country's most successful growth companies.
Published in the June issue of PROFIT and online at PROFIT100.com, the
PROFIT 100 is Canada's largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial
achievement.
"Our dedication to delivering outstanding service continues to pay
dividends both operationally and financially," said George Kerns,
President and CEO of Fusepoint. "Recruiting highly-skilled staff and
investing in technical and infrastructure upgrades enables Fusepoint to
grow in lock-step with our customers and their specialized IT needs. We
are very pleased to be recognized by PROFIT as one of Canada's fastest
growing companies and our success results from having a top-notch team in
place."
"The PROFIT 100 are role models for anyone who wants to expand their
business domestically or internationally," says Ian Portsmouth, editor of
PROFIT. "All entrepreneurs can take great lessons from the product
development, human resources and marketing practices of Canada's
Fastest-Growing Companies."
Having recently announced the expansion of its Vancouver data centre,
Fusepoint is also planning additional facilities development in Toronto
to meet increased demand.
"Issues surrounding the compliance and regulation of sensitive and
private data have ignited a firestorm in the managed services market as
companies scramble to keep pace with a growing list of technical
requirements," added Kerns. "Fusepoint has been able to leverage our
continued investments in areas of compliance certifications such as CICA
5970, SAS 70 Type II, and Tier 1 PCI that give Fusepoint an advantage
over the competition. In short, we believe our growth is a direct
reflection of our technical command of managed services."
