To determine the fastest growing companies, Deloitte reviewed fiscal year revenues over five years (2003-2007), calculated the revenue growth percentage over five years, and compared the growth of technology companies. Discretix recorded a doubling of its revenue in the first half of 2008, driven by a string of design wins as well as increased business from existing accounts.

In recent months, Discretix has also expanded its offerings to address interest from manufacturers and network operators in new technologies like mobile TV, on-demand entertainment, Web 2.0 services and geo-targeted content. These services, delivered over a wider range of consumer electronics devices like Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs), are giving rise to new vertical markets and increased business opportunities for content protection providers.

“Discretix’ portfolio of embedded security solutions continues to set the standard, as evidenced by the unprecedented interest in our products from customers both existing and new,” said Gal Solomon, CEO and founder of Discretix. “Reliability, efficiency, flexibility and quick time-to-market have always been the standards we’ve set for our solutions. Clearly our existing customers embrace these traits—and it’s our intention to deliver such benefits in every new segment we enter.”

“Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is a testament to a company’s commitment to technology”, said Asher Mechlovich, partner in charge of the Deloitte Brightman Almagor Zohar Israel Technology Fast 50 Program. “With its 591% growth rate over five years, Discretix has proven that its leadership has the vision and determination to grow in difficult conditions.”
