WELLESLEY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2000

DYS Analytics, Inc. has been recognized as part of the elite "New England Technology Fast 50" for 2000, a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the area. DYS Analytics, Inc. placed 14 this year, up from 47 last year. The Fast 50 program ranks New England's fastest-growing technology companies based on five-year revenue growth. The program is co-sponsored by the professional services firm of Deloitte & Touche and the law firm of Hale and Dorr LLP, in association with Mass High Tech, the Journal of New England Technology.

DYS Analytics, Inc.'s CEO Marco Farsheed credits the growing recognition of the critical importance of messaging and groupware networks as a key driver in the company's revenue growth. "Companies are depending more and more on electronic messaging & groupware, for internal and external communications. We are growing because senior management teams now recognize the strategic role of messaging and groupware within their organizations and the need for providing appropriate service levels. DYS is helping these organizations improve their service levels while reducing their infrastructure costs, "said Farsheed. "We are building our business by meeting a demand in the global market that was going unanswered."

DYS Analytics, Inc. is a leading provider of software systems and consulting services for monitoring, analysis and information flow planning in large-scale replication and messaging environments.

"Relative to the rest of the country, the New England Technology Fast 50 is an extremely competitive program. Our region has more than its share of great minds leading great companies, which makes this recognition exceptionally significant," said Stephen DiPietro, Co-chairman of the 2000 New England Technology Fast 50 Program, Deloitte & Touche.

William Lee, managing partner of Hale and Dorr and co-chairman of the program adds, "Each year, it becomes more difficult to achieve recognition in the technology field. On behalf of Hale and Dorr, I congratulate DYS Analytics, Inc. for its innovation and its success, and for joining the prestigious ranks of the 2000 Technology Fast 50."
