Dallas 100 Awards Lists Accudata Technologies Among North Texas' Fastest-Growing Private Companies

DALLAS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - The Dallas 100 Awards recently recognized Accudata Technologies (www.accudatatech.com), a leader in telephone number data-validation service, as one of the Dallas area's fastest-growing private companies. The award, co-founded by The Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship at Southern Methodist University's Cox School of Business, was presented to Accudata at the annual ceremony, held Wednesday at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Accudata was honored by the Dallas 100 twice before in 2004 and 2005.

In its 19^th year, the Dallas 100 Awards is an annual event that identifies and honors the 100 fastest-growing privately held companies in the Dallas area. To qualify for the prestigious award, a company must meet a number of criteria based on its legal status, location, sales history, credit report and character.

"These past two years, Accudata exhibited strength, innovation and resilience in a turbulent economic climate, and this Dallas 100 award brings further validation to all of our efforts," said Accudata CEO Greg Smith. "Accudata customers spanning markets like telecommunications, finance and Internet retail demand an information service built on reliability, flexibility and speed. One of the greatest compliments we receive, in addition to awards like the Dallas 100, is the continued support from our customers themselves. And that is why we strive to provide them with the most accurate information when they need it most."

The Dallas 100 Awards marks the continuation of Accudata's recent successes. Recently, Accudata was a finalist at the Celebration of Enterprise Awards, which annually honors companies that demonstrate the entrepreneurial spirit that keeps Collin County thriving. As an individual honor, Accudata Chief Technology Officer Monica Martino was recognized by the Dallas Business Journal as one of the "Top 25 Women to Watch" in the Dallas area.

All of the recognition stems from recent accomplishments like the company successfully landing two U.S. patents that enabled Accudata to call itself America's most accurate telephone number-validation service provider and to greatly expand the capabilities of modern-day Caller ID services to new regions and new devices. Also, Accudata formed Privus Mobile (www.privusmobile.com), a subsidiary which utilizes Accudata's comprehensive databases to provide actual Caller ID to smartphones for the first time. Now mobile phones using BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, Android and Apple operating systems have the ability to experience better call management than landline phones.
