X2O Media Chosen One of Canada's Select 'Companies to Watch' in the 2010 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards

Companies-to-Watch Award winners frequently go on to score high rankings in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 once they have a five-year track record, said John Ruffolo, National Leader, Technology, Media and Telecommunications Industry Group, Deloitte. X2O Media has quickly distinguished itself for its innovative technology and entrepreneurship, and this award recognizes its potential as a future leader in the Canadian technology industry.

Deloitte is Canada's largest professional services firm, and it is a tremendous achievement to be recognized by the company as one of the Companies-to-Watch in the Technology Fast 50 program, a coveted endorsement in the Canadian technology sector, said David Wilkins, X2O Media's President and CEO.

Receiving this honor demonstrates the mark we have made on the digital signage marketplace and on new ways of enhancing communications over the last four years, continued Wilkins. We've done this by offering high-quality, cost-effective solutions such as our Xpresenter™ platform and theX2O enterprise visual communication system, and constantly innovating to stay ahead of the market's needs with increased functionality and integration, along with innovative services such as our online Ad Production Service. It's an honor to have our efforts recognized.

The majority of Companies-to-Watch winners are potential global leaders in technology sectors that did not even exist five years ago. To win the award, companies must display the kind of management expertise and superior technology that mark a successful early-stage company poised for continued growth. To qualify for the Companies-to-Watch Award, candidates must have been operating less than five years. They must also be headquartered in Canada and devote a significant portion of their operating revenues to creating proprietary technology and/or intellectual property.
