Back to 2004 Press Releases
ISWest named 20th fastest growing tech firm
in Los Angeles
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 23, 2004
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – For the second year in
a row, award-winning Internet service provider ISWest has been named
one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Los Angeles
by Deloitte, one of the nation's leading professional services firms.
Called the "Los Angeles Technology Fast 50,"
the annual award program ranks technology companies in Los Angeles,
Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura County by revenue
growth over five years (1999-2003).
ISWest's growth was 349 percent, placing it at Number
20 on the 2004 Fast 50 ranking. ISWest is a two-time winner of this
award placing 18th last year, said Drew J. Kaplan ISWest CEO.
"Making the Technology Fast 50 list is quite
an accomplishment for ISWest," said Kaplan, who attributes
this strong growth to many factors, including outstanding customer
service and quality products and services.
"For instance, by having a live person answer
each and every phone call, ISWest ensures that clients receive the
attention they deserve," Kaplan said. "We monitor and
manage our customer's Internet connection so that they don't have
to. This leaves them the time to attend to their own business and
do what they do best, while ISWest handles their Internet, which
is what we do best."
ISWest also attributes some of its growth to acquisitions
over the past several years of five additional ISPs, making ISWest
the largest Internet service provider in Ventura County, and the
top business-to-business ISP in Southern California.
"The recent recognition of our growth reflects
that ISWest is a major player in the Internet Industry," Kaplan
said.
