prestigious Fast 50 Program for Greater Philadelphia. The Fast 50 is a
ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and

leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the

America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary
intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the
