Payfone Ranked Among Fastest Growing Companies on Deloitte's 2019 Technology Fast 500™
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Payfone, a leader in digital identity authentication announced it has been named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America now in its 25th year.
"It is an honor to be recognized for a third consecutive year by Deloitte on their prestigious 2019 Technology Fast 500™ list," said Rodger Desai, CEO of Payfone. "The fear of identity fraud and cyberattacks holds the digital economy back from its full potential. This fear overtakes the desire to deliver great user experiences and creates a "Trust Gap" whereby most companies can only 'pass' ~40% of customers during digital interactions, which is significantly lower than in-person approvals. Payfone allows billions of additional consumers to safely access digital services and experience the best possible user experiences without sacrificing security."
"This year marks the 25th anniversary of Deloitte's Technology Fast 500, so we are especially pleased to announce and congratulate the 2019 winners," said Sandra Shirai, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP, and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. "Once again, we saw innovation across the board, with software companies continuing their dominance of the top ten. It's always inspiring to see how the Fast 500 companies are transforming business and the world we live and work in."
"As technology innovation trends towards 'everything as a service,' it's no surprise that software companies dominate the winners list yet again this year," said Mohana Dissanayake, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications, within Deloitte's audit and assurance practice. "What's exciting about celebrating 25 years of the Tech Fast 500 is we now have a quarter century of innovation stories to draw and reflect upon. These are the companies that push boundaries, help organizations become more efficient and productive, and ultimately enable businesses to drive growth and revenue. We congratulate all the well-deserving winners."
Overall, 2019 Technology Fast 500™ companies achieved revenue growth ranging from 166 percent to 37,458 percent from 2015 to 2018, with median growth of 439 percent.
