Whitehill Technologies one of the Top 3 “Movers and Shakers” in Canadian IT, according to the Branham 300

MONCTON, NB, Canada - March 21, 2007 - Whitehill Technologies has been named one of the Top Three “Movers and Shakers” on the 2007 Branham 300, an independent annual ranking of the 300 largest information technology (IT) companies in Canada.

The “Movers and Shakers” list represents companies that, through remarkable performance, showed the most significant increases in their rankings compared to the 2006 Branham listing.

Thanks to its 142% revenue growth, Whitehill rocketed up 48 places on the Branham ranking—from 143rd to 95th—making it one of the Top Three “Movers and Shakers” of the year.

This is the first time that Whitehill Technologies has cracked the Top 100 on the Branham rankings. Based on annual reported revenues, Whitehill is now the 25th largest software vendor in Canada, and the 5th largest privately held software company.

“Leapfrogging 48 places really is a tremendous achievement, especially when you consider our size,” says Paul McSpurren, President & CEO, Whitehill Technologies, Inc. “Growth like this is pretty rare among companies as well established as ours.” Whitehill served its 1,000th customer this year, and has 200 employees working at multiple locations in Canada and the United States.

“What isn’t mentioned in the rankings, but which is even more important, is that Whitehill achieved all of this growth while remaining profitable,” McSpurren continues. “Whitehill bases its business philosophy on three pillars: innovation, customer satisfaction, and business performance. Our entire staff made a great team effort to achieve tremendous growth over the past year, and to maintain our track record of high customer satisfaction.”
