Brio ranks among the fastest growing

Brio Technology, the enterprise business intelligence company, has been named in the Deloitte & Touche and Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network`s 1998 Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 programme, for accomplishing a high level of success in a short period of time.

Brio ranked as the 13th fastest growing technology company in Silicon Valley, with revenue growth of 2 316% from 1993-1997.

"Kleiner Perkins has been an investor in Brio Technology since 1995 because we recognised the potential for the business intelligence market and strongly believe in Brio`s products, team and vision," says E Floyd Kvamme, partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. "Brio`s high growth rate and sterling reputation in the industry are proof that Brio`s consistent focus on delivering products that enable rapid ROI is embraced by growing numbers of customers worldwide."

"We`re proud of our 316% five-year growth rate and the thousands of successful customers who have contributed to Brio`s fast growth," says Yorgen Edholm, president and CEO of Brio Technology. "A key factor behind Brio`s success is the Brio employee team - a collection of highly skilled professionals in engineering, sales, marketing and operations. We`re fortunate to continue to attract the most sought after people with the best backgrounds in advanced technology and business."
