Openet Telecom Included In ‘Tornado Insider 100’
julio 11, 2002 - Openet
Dublin, 11th July 2002, Tornado Insider's recently released Top 100 list features Openet Telecom as one of Europe's leading, private, high-technology companies.
Openet Telecom, the world leader in convergent mediation, is pleased to announce their selection by Tornado Insider as one of Europe's top 100 emerging high-technology companies. The list, which features in the July issue of Tornado Insider magazine, identifies the most promising and innovative privately-held companies in Europe's IT and biotech sectors.
"Openet's inclusion in this list is tremendous recognition of the strides we have made in the European and international market place this year," said John Rainger, CEO at Openet Telecom. "This honour underscores Openet's mission to provide communication service providers with the very best mediation and pre-paid solutions on the market. Our listing can be seen as a tribute to the quality of our staff and technology."
Openet has already established itself as a leader in providing scalable convergent mediation solutions that enable communication service providers with diverse networks to easily implement, manage and bill sophisticated services. Openet customers now include some of the biggest operators in the world including BT, Rural Cellular and TMN Portugal.
"This year's ‘Tornado Insider 100' companies have demonstrated a proven ability to be creative, agile and truly innovative in a challenging climate," said Ron Goen, CEO of Tornado Insider. "We believe that these companies will continue to provide an enduring value to their customers, their shareholders and the marketplace."
The ‘Tornado Insider 100' listing is based on thousands of candidates which are narrowed down by Tornado Insider's research and editorial departments, in conjunction with industry insiders, high-tech analysts as well as sector and regional specialists. The companies included in this year's list had to meet the requirement of selling products that matched their marketing promises. The list also recognised companies with prudent management that managed to stay afloat by utilising their funding in the most effective manner, favouring companies that have clearly demonstrated that the technology they are commercialising today will change the way things are done tomorrow.
"These companies are the cream of Europe," added Timothy Weeks, Tornado Insider's senior research analyst. "The fact that they not just survived but are thriving in a downturn adds even more to their market."
