Highdeal ranked 4th in France and 33rd in EMEA, for the prestigious 2005 Deloitte Technology Awards

December 12, 2005 - New-York, Paris

Highdeal’s exceptional 20-fold rate of growth over the last four years has been recognised by the 2005 Deloitte Technology Awards. Highdeal has been awarded 4th place in Deloitte’s France Fast 50 Awards and 33rd place in the Fast 500 Europe awards which recognise the fastest growing companies in EMEA. The awards identify the trends and companies that are shaping the technology, media and telecommunications sectors in individual countries and EMEA as a whole.

Highdeal’s outstanding growth is considerably higher than the average four-fold growth in France and reflects the company’s continued success in 2005.

“Deloitte is proud to award management teams whose innovation, dedication and ambition to achieve growth have led them to establish the most creative, qualified teams with an unrelenting ability to evolve and adapt to maintain market leadership.” said Jean-Paul Picard, Managing Director of Deloitte.

Eric Pillevesse, founder and President of Highdeal said: “Our continued growth over the last few years is a direct result of our anticipation of the IP multi-services revolution, now a clear growth market. This vision, coupled with a strong partnership strategy with some of the largest players in the industry, has been key to our international growth and success.”

Highdeal has secured a number of high-profile customers in 2005 including AOL Germany, Portus, Sensorlogic and Parla.it. The company has continued to increase its footprint across Europe by supporting a wide range of new and emerging services including MMS, VoIP, Triple Play, MVNO, VNO, and M2M as well as strengthening its partnership with Netcentrex and Envivio as part of the award-winning IPlay3 Consortium.
