The program augments the broader Deloitte North American Technology Fast 500 initiative, with winners automatically eligible for this elite ranking.
“Canadian Fast 50 companies innovate, demonstrate leadership, create jobs, and invest in R&D,” said Richard Lee, Deloitte-s National Managing Partner, Technology, Media & Telecommunications. “GuestLogix is a company that shows dedication, drive and commitment, which is key to growth in the Canadian technology sector.”
