Canada’s Highest Performing Tech Companies

After another strong year, StarDyne ranked among the best on the Branham300, the definitive listing of Canadian IT companies.

The 2013 Branham300 ranked StarDyne as one of the top technology companies in Canada. This is the fifth consecutive year that StarDyne has earned a place on the list. This year, based on 2012 revenues, StarDyne appears at number 100 on the Top 250 Canadian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Companies, up from 114 last year and number 24 of the Top 25 Canadian Software Companies.

According to Branham, Canada’s ICT industry continued to move forward in 2012, albeit at a modest pace, as cumulative revenues for the Top 250 Canadian ICT companies increased by 0.46% to $83 billion. Despite losses due to merger and acquisition activity, growth can be found throughout this year’s ranking, with 74.80% of listed companies experiencing revenue increases in 2012, and more than half (54.0%) of this year’s top tech players posting double-digit gains.*

StarDyne attributes its success, as evidenced by consistent year over year improvement in the Branham ranking, to continued investment in software development projects and in its relationship with its customers. StarDyne has invested significantly over the last two years and this investment is now yielding the return that was envisioned at the beginning of the projects. Software development projects are largely driven by customer needs and have contributed to the StarDyne group meeting and exceeding the already high levels of client satisfaction and revenue growth.

StarDyne’s belief in the Triple Bottom Line as the foundation for business is the force behind our consistent success on the Branham300 list. Since 2001 StarDyne has consistently seen increases in all 3 aspects of the Triple Bottom Line; Employee Satisfaction, Customer Satisfaction and Financial Satisfaction.

Once again StarDyne would like to thank our employees throughout the Group who have helped us achieve this level of success and who, on a daily basis excel at providing solutions to our thousands of customers. Thank You.
