Vienna, Va. October 30, 2001 – eMotion has been named to the Deloitte & Touche Technology Fast 50 Program for the Virginia region, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the area. Rankings are based on the percentage of growth in revenues for the five-year period from 1996-2000.

"eMotion has shown a 72 percent CAGR over the five year period from 1996 to 2000, with accelerating growth every year. Fiscal year 2000 revenues grew 150 percent over 1999, when according to IDC the Media Management market grew 40.8 percent in the same period.
