Mediasurface Fastest Growing Company

08 Sep 2006

It's Official - Mediasurface is Fastest Growing Company in Sector

A 42% half-year growth over the previous half-year positioned Mediasurface as the fastest growing software provider in the content management sector. Half year results from January – June 2006 of publicly quoted content management providers in Europe and USA including Stellent, Vignette, Interwoven and Filenet were compared in the analysis.

Mediasurface’s strong performance was helped by several noteworthy contracts with major organisations including New Star Asset Management (UK); the Department for Communities and Local Government (formerly ODPM); the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (UK), the Department for Transport (UK), Thomson Group (USA), Borealis (Austria), T-Mobile (NL) and Het Financieele Dagblad together with Business News Radio (NL). A number of existing customers also upgraded their systems to newer versions, reaffirming their confidence in Mediasurface.

Commenting on the results Lawrence Flynn Chief Executive Officer said: “We’re obviously encouraged by this further indication that our strategy to build enterprise strength and yet intuitive web management solutions that appeal to both the business user and IT department is paying dividends. We’re finding that large and smaller companies alike are struggling to implement unwieldy enterprise content management technology that spans everything from document management to portals and they’re turning to the more agile providers like Mediasurface to solve their web management requirements in weeks rather than months or years.”

The announcement coincides with Mediasurface’s second full year of successful trading on the London Stock Exchange where it trades on the AIM Exchange (ticker: MSR).

During the year, Mediasurface released Morello v5.4, (www.hellomorello.com) the latest version of its flagship web content management solution and launched its groundbreaking CMS for smaller businesses, Pepperio (www.pepperio.co.uk), which continues to attract significant interest and attention from its target markets. In response to market demands, Mediasurface has also opened several new offices in the past 12 months strengthening its presence in Europe, India, Asia Pacific and the USA.
