DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
The Dallas 100™ Awards recently recognized Accudata Technologies
(www.accudatatech.com), a leader in telephone number data-validation service, as
one of the Dallas area`s fastest-growing private companies. The award,
co-founded by The Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at Southern Methodist
University`s Cox School of Business, was presented to Accudata at the annual
ceremony, held Wednesday at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Accudata was
honored by the Dallas 100 twice before in 2004 and 2005. 

In its 19th year, the Dallas 100 Awards is an annual event that identifies and
honors the 100 fastest-growing privately held companies in the Dallas area. To
qualify for the prestigious award, a company must meet a number of criteria
based on its legal status, location, sales history, credit report and character.


"These past two years, Accudata exhibited strength, innovation and resilience in
a turbulent economic climate, and this Dallas 100 award brings further
validation to all of our efforts," said Accudata CEO Greg Smith. "Accudata
customers spanning markets like telecommunications, finance and Internet retail
demand an information service built on reliability, flexibility and speed. One
of the greatest compliments we receive, in addition to awards like the Dallas
100, is the continued support from our customers themselves. And that is why we
strive to provide them with the most accurate information when they need it
most." 

The Dallas 100 Awards marks the continuation of Accudata`s recent successes.
Recently, Accudata was a finalist at the Celebration of Enterprise Awards, which
annually honors companies that demonstrate the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps
Collin County thriving. As an individual honor, Accudata Chief Technology
Officer Monica Martino was recognized by the Dallas Business Journal as one of
the "Top 25 Women to Watch" in the Dallas area. 

All of the recognition stems from recent accomplishments like the company
successfully landing two U.S. patents that enabled Accudata to call itself
America`s most accurate telephone number-validation service provider and to
greatly expand the capabilities of modern-day Caller ID services to new regions
and new devices. Also, Accudata formed Privus Mobile (www.privusmobile.com), a
subsidiary which utilizes Accudata`s comprehensive databases to provide actual
Caller ID to smartphones for the first time. Now mobile phones using BlackBerry,
Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android and Apple operating systems have the ability to
experience better call management than landline phones.
