FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cogsdale Corporation Ranked Number 210 Fastest Growing Company in North America on Deloitte’s 2006 Technology Fast 500

Charlottetown, PE., November 16, 2006 - Cogsdale Corporation announced today that it ranked Number 210 on Deloitte’s 2006 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2001 – 2005. Cogsdale Corporation grew 750 percent during this period.

Cogsdale Corporation’s CEO Duncan Shaw credits great staff and a simple plan with the company’s 750 percent revenue growth from 2001 – 2005. He said, “We’ve always had a very clear vision of delivering systems to local governments and utilities that deliver the best of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the leading financial and operational software in the market, with the specific functionality that these customers require. Since we have relied on a direct sales model, we’ve developed a very detailed understanding of what these customers require today and in the future. We’ve taken this information and built a great team to deliver our system to clients domestically and internationally. That’s been the basis of our growth.”

“To be successful in today’s increasingly competitive landscape, companies have to be better, smarter, and more innovative than in the past, and the Technology Fast 500 companies are doing exactly that,” said Tony Kern, deputy managing principal of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. “We applaud Cogsdale Corporation for being among the fastest growing technology companies in North America.”

In addition to ranking on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, Cogsdale Corporation ranked 31 on the Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in Canada.
