Shana Corporation is pleased to announce that for the second year running, it has been recognized as one of the Top 100 Independent Software Companies in Canada. The 2002 edition of the Branham Group's annual ranking of top Canadian IT companies has just been released. "We are very impressed with Shana's performance last year which enabled them to move from the 86th to 75th position on our Top 100 Independent Canadian Software Companies listing," said Wayne Gudbranson, President & CEO of Branham Group Inc. "Their 36% growth was a reflection of a solid product offering and strong customer demand for their products. We expect them to move further notches in the ranking next year." The Branham 300 listing - which comprises a broad range of categories, including the Top 100 Independent Canadian Software Companies - represents a unique and insightful piece of intelligence on the Canadian Information technology market. As such, the listing has become pre-eminent the world over as the authoritative marker for the health of the Information Technology industry in Canada.

"Shana is very pleased to be included, and moving up the Branham Group's Top 100 listing," said Don Murphy, President of Shana, who attributes the company's recent successes to a range of factors. "Focusing on doing one thing well is proving to be the right approach: Shana automates forms, and form-driven processes. And while there are thousands of ways to automate a few forms, there are precious few ways to automate thousands of forms. That is our focus."
