Medallia Named to Deloitte’s 2014 Technology Fast 500 List of Fastest Growing Companies in North America

PALO ALTO, Calif., November 17, 2014 — Medallia® (medallia.com), the global leader in SaaS Customer Experience Management (CEM) solutions, today announced it ranked 358 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies – both public and private – in North America. Medallia grew by 229 percent during this period.

Conducted by Deloitte LLP, Technology Fast 500 award winners are selected based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2009 to 2013. Medallia CEO Borge Hald, who co-founded Medallia in 2001, credits its recent accelerated growth rate to an increasing focus on customer centricity by the world’s largest companies, and their desire to use customer information to agilely adapt to changing customer expectations.

“Medallia helps companies negotiate the shift in the marketplace where buying decisions are based less on brands – which were previously a proxy for quality – and more on trusted information about customer experiences,” Hald said. “CEOs across all verticals are starting to see customer centricity and creating good customer experiences as a core strategic imperative. And with the strongest Customer Experience Management solution in the industry, an increasing number of the Fortune 1000 are turning to Medallia to build the voice of the customer into their operating DNA.”

In order to be eligible for Technology Fast 500 recognition, companies must own proprietary intellectual property or technology that is sold to customers in products that contribute to a majority of the company’s operating revenues. Companies must have base-year operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD or CD, and current-year operating revenues of at least $5 million USD or CD. Additionally, companies must be in business for a minimum of five years and be headquartered within North America. More info is at www.fast500.com.
