ATLANTA, Jan. 31, 2017 -- Avangate, the global eCommerce and subscription billing platform that maximizes revenue for software, SaaS and digital solutions, today announced that it has been named to the 2016 Deloitte North America Technology Fast 500™ Rankings for the third year in a row. The list ranks the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and energy tech sectors in North America, selecting winners based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth over the previous four years (2012 to 2015).

Avangate’s growth over the past few years was driven largely by global expansion, new customers across multiple software verticals and product innovations that increase revenue for its customers and simplify selling globally.

“Our personal and professional lives are shifting in response to new technologies and business models that are changing the way we work and live,” said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and US Technology, Media, and Telecommunications leader. “The 2016 Technology Fast 500 winners are supporting this shift by creating experiences for their customers, surpassing expected possibilities, and helping to envision even more effective and ingenious solutions. That means taking risks, encouraging experimentation and embracing transformation.”

“Avangate is proud to be named among the top 500 fastest growing companies in North America yet again,” said Alex Hart, CEO of Avangate. “This continued recognition from a leading organization validates our success in providing a seamless digital commerce experience. Additionally, by using our tools, companies are also able to increase their own revenue, so Avangate’s growth is amplified by the ongoing development of other organizations as well.”
