Serenic ranked the 31st fastest growing technology company in Canada in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50

EDMONTON, Sep. 25, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- TSX Venture Exchange Symbol "SER"

Serenic Corporation (SER), ("Serenic" or the "Corporation"), a leading publisher of financial management and business operations software for non-profits, international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the public sector, announced today the company is ranked among the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Canada, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. Serenic's increase in revenues of 522 percent from 2003 to 2007 resulted in a number 31 ranking.

For over a decade, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program has tracked the successful growth of Canadian-grown global leaders. Now Canada's pre-eminent technology award program, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 augments the broader Deloitte North American Technology Fast 500 initiative, with winners automatically eligible for this elite ranking.

"Transforming technological innovation into business success is hard, and it's especially difficult to sustain such rapid revenue growth over five years. Serenic has rapidly built a highly successful company in the Canadian technology industry and we applaud their dedication and ability to transform their vision into reality," said John Ruffolo, National Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte.

Serenic's CEO and President Randy Keith credits the company's innovative financial management software and its deliberate focus on the non-profit market with its 522 percent revenue growth. "Serenic was founded on the premise that non-profit organizations deserve better than they have historically gotten from the software vendor community, as few solutions have been designed specifically for their needs," said Keith. "Our success is built upon helping our customers accomplish their missions by providing them with a robust suite of integrated, industry specific applications that utilize sophisticated Microsoft technology."

"Canadian technology companies have some of the highest revenue growth in North America, while playing in some of the world's largest, most competitive and exciting market sectors," explains Ruffolo. "Outstanding companies such as Serenic demonstrate the incredible business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit that fuel the Canadian technology industry."

To qualify for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking, companies must have been in business for at least five years, have revenues of at least $5Â million, be headquartered in Canada, own proprietary technology, and conduct research and development activities in Canada. A panel of industry experts evaluates and judges companies based on four key criteria: competitive advantage; size, growth, and market attractiveness; management effectiveness and organization; and financial performance.
