deverus Receives “Fast 50 Award” Honors

AUSTIN, TX, Oct 16, 2008 – deverus, Inc, a leading provider of on-demand background screening software, has been named one of the 50 fastest-growing, privately-held companies in the central Texas area by the Austin Business Journal.

Fifty central Texas-based private companies were ranked on the FAST 50: 25 under $10 million and 25 over $10 million revenue. Rankings were determined by the average revenue growth when combining net revenue figures from 2005, 2006 and 2007.

"We’re honored to be included in this year’s ‘Fast 50 Award’ roster," says Shawn Rucks, CEO of deverus, Inc. "We continue to grow because our clients benefit from the way we successfully align people, processes and technology to help them create successful, sustainable background screening businesses."

In addition to their industry-leading background screening solution, deverus’ rapid growth has been fueled by exceptional customer support service, allowing deverus to rapidly deliver its innovative software-as-a-service platform as an integrated, seamless client experience.

This is the second time that the Austin Business Journal has recognized deverus for outstanding business performance. Last year, deverus was one of only a handful of companies chosen in the small business category of the Austin Business Journal’s 2007 "Best Places to Work" award.
