AgencyPort Named to Deloitte’s 2008 Technology Fast 500 Annual List of the Fastest Growing Companies in North America

Industry Leader Grows Revenue by More Than 1397% in Five Years

AgencyPort Insurance Services, Inc., announced today that it was ranked No. 135 on Deloitte’s 2008 Technology Fast 500. The Deloitte 2008 Technology Fast 500 recognizes the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth over five years, from 2003 – 2007. AgencyPort’s revenue grew more than 1397 percent during this period.

“We are pleased to be recognized for our revenue growth on Deloitte’s Fast 500,” stated Gary Brach, CEO of AgencyPort. “This accomplishment would not have been possible without our focus on developing and delivering world-class technology to the insurance industry.”

AgencyPort is the leading provider of web-based solutions and services for property and casualty insurers. AgencyPort’s products enhance the underwriting process, extend the life of carriers’ existing policy administrations systems, and make it simple for agents and carriers to transact business. The result is a significant increase in process efficiency for both carriers and agents.

“Each company on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 is an innovator with an exceptional five-year track record of growth,” said Phil Asmundson, Deloitte LLP vice chairman and national managing partner for Technology, Media and Telecommunications. “AgencyPort has earned its position among the fastest growing companies in North American and we are proud to honor this important accomplishment.”

The Fast 500 was compiled from Deloitte’s regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. Companies were selected based on percentage revenue growth from 2003 to 2007.

Entrants must own proprietary intellectual property or proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues or devote significant proportion of the company’s operating revenues or devote a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology. Using other companies’ technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify. Base-year operating revenues must be at least $50,000 USD or $75,000 CD, and current-year operating revenues must be at least $5 million USD or CD. Companies must be in business a minimum of five years, and they must be headquartered within North America.
