Nextiva Ranks Highly in Deloitte's 2014 Technology Fast 500

Following years of tenuous economic stability, it seems like business growth is finally on a solid climb—albeit a slow one. According to Kiplinger, growth should continue at a 3 percent rate through 2015, with consumer confidence returning to the market across the board, hiring on the rise, job openings at a near record level, and layoffs becoming less common. It seems like good things are on the horizon for the North American economy.

This growth hasn’t gone unnoticed by Deloitte, which rounds up the 500 most promising companies every year in its Deloitte Technology Fast 500, a well established technology awards program in the United States and Canada. The awards are based on a combination of technological innovation, entrepreneurship and rapid growth, and include large, small, public and private companies. These companies span a wide range of industry verticals, specializing in everything from hardware, software, telecom, and semiconductors, to life sciences and clean technology. Deloitte views its Fast 500 awardees as companies on the cutting edge of their industries. The 2014 awards mark its 20th anniversary.

“For 20 years, the Deloitte Fast 500 rankings have honored the innovation that is part of these companies’ DNA,” said Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “We’re glad to be serving these high-growth companies, and helping the technology sector recognize the great strides and transformation these companies are making in their respective areas.”

Following the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 reveal for 2014, cloud-based business communication solutions provider Nextiva announced its placement as No. 80 on the list—a decided high rank among the best and brightest growing companies. Nextiva has seen an astounding 1,550 percent hike in revenue growth this year, which the company’s CEO credits to Nextiva’s employees, who consistently deliver powerful business communication products like virtual PBX and business VoIP to customers all over the world.  

"We are honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in North America by Deloitte’s 2014 Technology Fast 500,” added Tomas Gorny, Nextiva’s CEO. “Nextiva continues to transform the communications industry as a result of our commitment to simplifying the way businesses communicate."
