Apica,
a leading load testing and performance monitoring provider for cloud and
mobile applications, today announced that it has climbed more than 100
spots on the Deloitte
Technology Fast 500 EMEA 2012 to #283. Apica’s ascent on this list,
which ranks the 500 fastest growing technology companies across Europe,
the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), is fueled by the company’s 531
percent revenue growth over the past five years.
“The cloud services industry is growing at a rapid rate and businesses
and developers alike are seeking solutions to optimize their cloud and
mobile applications,” said Sven Hammar, CEO of Apica. “Our accelerated
position among the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 is a testament to our
company’s growth, strong partnership network, and ability to provide
solutions that meet the performance and testing demands of this
industry. Application monitoring and the ability to detect performance
problems will continue to be a challenge for IT organizations in the
coming year, which is why we will continue to expand our business and
deliver the technology that will help organizations optimize performance
and improve user experience.”
This is the second year in a row that Apica has made the Deloitte
Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking. In 2011, Apica ranked 395th.
“Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA ranking is a testament to
a company’s commitment to technology,” said David Halstead, Deloitte
United Kingdom and partner in charge of the Deloitte Technology Fast 500
EMEA programme. “With its 531 percent growth rate over five years, Apica
has proven that its leadership has the vision and determination to grow
in difficult conditions.”
