PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2001

I-many, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMNY), the leader in contract and trade relationship management solutions, has been named to Deloitte & Touche's 2001 Technology Fast 500. I-many is ranked number 455 on the list of the Fastest Growing Technology Companies in North America.

I-many attributes its impressive growth to its ability to consistently meet and exceed the ever-expanding demands for contract management solutions. I-many's vision and product offerings strive to provide full lifecycle contract management - from contract inception, to managing terms and compliance, to identifying pricing and settling with trading partners, to invoicing and ultimately to entering into renewed contracts.

"With its ranking on the prestigious Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500, I-many's leaders have proven that they have the vision and the fortitude to excel in the highly competitive technology industry," said Mark A. Evans, managing director of Deloitte & Touche's Technology & Communications Group. "We congratulate them on becoming one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in the U.S. and Canada."

In addition to ranking on the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 500, I-many was also included on the New England Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in New England.

The Fast 500 list is compiled from three sources: winners of Deloitte & Touche's 22 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 1996 revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively.
