IDION Technology Holdings rated in Deloittes `Fast 50` ranking


Johannesburg, 07 Nov 2001

IDION Technology Holdings has been rated sixth in the prestigious 2001 Deloitte and Touche Technology Fast 50 ranking, recognising the company as one of the 50 fastest-growing technology organisations in SA, based on percentage growth in turnover over the past three years.

The aim is to identify the fastest growing technology-driven public, private or parastatal organisations that devote time and effort to research and development of technology products.

Deloitte Consulting MD Pierre Tredoux says: "Receiving a Fast 50 ranking is a substantial achievement and will become a competitive benchmark for SA firms in the global technology community. "

IDION Technology Holdings, which is listed on the JSE Securities Exchange, comprises of two wholly owned subsidiaries: US-based Vision Solutions, a global pioneer and leader in the information availability marketplace for over a decade, and IDION Solutions, the South African arm of IDION Technology Holdings.

"We are delighted to be ranked in the Deloitte`s Fast 50, because it underlines our strong belief in the value of a substantial ongoing investment in research and development in both our operational businesses," comments IDION Technology Holdings CEO Nicolaas Vlok. According to Vlok, Vision Solutions serves more than 1 600 customers across multiple industries around the world, with 44% of Fortune 100 companies transacting with Vision Solutions as their key business partner.

In SA, IDION Solutions provides premier business optimisation solutions and services on the Microsoft platform to a broad client base mainly focused in the financial, manufacturing and retail vertical industry sectors.

"Innovation is encouraged in all aspects of our business and inclusion in the Deloitte`s Fast 50 ranking is a prestigious acknowledgement of our commitment in this area," Vlok concludes.
