Business Wire, Oct 1, 2007

Company Attributes Growing Demand for Predictive Analytics and Reporting Solutions for Its 46% Percent Revenue Growth over 5 Years

SEATTLE -- Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today that the company has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Washington State, a ranking of the 50 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the region by Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2002 to 2006.

Insightful's CEO Jeff Coombs credits the growing demand for predictive analytics and reporting solutions for the company's 46 percent revenue growth from 2002 to 2006. "We are seeing a growing realization by companies across all industries - but particularly life science and financial services - of the imperative to analyze their data and communicate the results efficiently and effectively, unlocking hidden insight and detecting the subtle relationships that can deliver competitive advantage. Our solutions provide enterprises with the knowledge to act quickly and decisively."

Insightful's increase in revenues of 46 percent from 2002 to 2006 resulted in a ranking of 46th in the Technology Fast 50 for Washington State.

"Deloitte's Washington State Technology Fast 50 companies have shown the strength, vision and tenacity to succeed in today's very competitive technology environment," said Larry Hile, a partner with Deloitte & Touche LLP in Seattle. "We applaud the successes of Insightful and acknowledge it as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate over the past five years."

To qualify for the Technology Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006, be headquartered in North America, and be a company that owns proprietary technology or proprietary intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.

Companies from the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America's top 500 fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
