Vancouver, BC, January 12, 2005 – Antarctica Systems Inc. (ASI), an enterprise provider of Business Analytics software, today announced that it has been named on the 2005 ‘Ready to Rocket’ list. The ‘Ready to Rocket 25’ list names twenty-five (25) B.C. companies that are best positioned to capitalize on the information technology trends that contribute to faster growth than the IT sector as a whole. The ‘Ready to Rocket 25’ list is compiled by Rocket Builders, a Vancouver-based consulting group focused on helping technology companies identify and capitalize on market opportunities.
To determine the list of companies for inclusion in the ‘Ready to Rocket’ list, Rocket Builders reviewed company revenues for nominated companies.
“Companies who make our annual ‘Ready to Rocket 25’ list come from a variety of technology businesses and industry sectors across British Columbia, and Rocket Builders has a credible track record of identifying these fast-growth companies. We are able to predict with a high degree of accuracy that more than 90% of named companies beat the industry growth rate; more than 65% of named companies more than doubled the industry growth rate, and more than 34% of named companies more than quadrupled the industry growth rate,” said Geoffrey Hansen, a Managing Partner at Rocket Builders.
“We believe that Antarctica Systems is poised for very strong growth in 2005,’ said Barry Yates, President and CEO of Antarctica. “We are honored to have been selected from a pool of hundreds of technology companies in the area. This is further validation of Antarctica’s ability to address ‘the last mile of Business Intelligence.’ With Antarctica, business decision makers can investigate and explore key areas of their businesses to understand root causes of performance without having to deal with the complexity of existing tools which are typically geared towards technical users.”
