Rochelle Park, NJ – August 15, 2002 – Schema, the global provider of optimization and planning solutions for wireless networks, has been named to Deloitte & Touche’s prestigious “Technology Fast 50” Program for New Jersey, which recognizes the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area.
Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in fiscal year revenues from 1997-2001 (five-year period). Schema was ranked 12 in the Fast 50 for New Jersey.
“This recognition is a testament to the industry problem that we solve for wireless operators,” said Andrew Burroughs, Schema’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our optimization and planning solutions for wireless networks have enabled many global operators to rapidly save millions of dollars by improving their quality of service and increasing capacity without having to add more hardware.”
“To rank on the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 50, companies must have phenomenal revenue growth in a five year period. Schema has proven to be one of the fast-growth success stories in New Jersey, and we applaud their success and vision,” said Ray Lewis, a partner with Deloitte & Touche’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications practice in New Jersey.
To qualify for the Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 1997 and $1,000,000 in 2001, must be public or private companies headquartered in New Jersey, and be “technology companies” defined as companies that own proprietary technology which contributes to a significant portion of the company’s operating revenues or devotes a high percentage of effort to research and development of technology.
