Outstanding financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, and execution of strategy propels IQNavigator onto list of “Top 100 Most Promising Tech Companies”
DENVER, Colorado – May 27, 2009 – IQNavigator, the premium provider of global services procurement solutions and managed service programs, today announced the company has been named a recipient of 2009 Red Herring 100, an award given to the top 100 privately held companies based in North America as judged by the editors of Red Herring.
“We are honored that IQNavigator continues to gain accolades for both its business performance and its technology,” said John P. Raeder Jr., president and CEO of IQNavigator. “For most Global 2000 corporations, services procurement is an untapped green field opportunity for cost savings. We’re thrilled to be recognized for quickly and consistently recognizing sizable cost savings across key service areas on an enterprise-wide scale for our Fortune 500 customers. Being named to Red Herring’s North America 100 is a testament to our success.”
The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of 1,200. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.
This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
For over 10 years, The Red Herring 100 North America award, open to private technology companies headquartered in North America, has been given to the top 100 tech companies based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecom, communications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, and clean tech industries sent in their submissions to qualify for the award.
The CEOs of the 200 finalists were invited to present their winning strategies at the Red Herring Conference in San Diego, where the Red Herring Top 100 was announced.
