DataCert Recognized for Revenue Growth and Community Service

Houston Business Journal Names DataCert Fast 100 Enterprise Champion

HOUSTON, Sept. 25, 2007 – DataCert, Inc., the leading provider of legal and IP spend and matter management solutions, announced that the Houston Business Journal has awarded it the title of Enterprise Champion in its Fast 100 competition.

The Fast 100 ranks the fastest-growing businesses in the Houston area based on two-year revenue growth. DataCert claimed number 39 on the list with a revenue increase of 86.02 percent at the September 14th awards banquet.

DataCert captured further recognition by being named Enterprise Champion of the Fast 100 for its commitment to community service and corporate culture.

DataCert’s community affairs program includes company-organized volunteer opportunities, an employee gift matching program and a corporate sponsorship with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana. In 2006, DataCert’s 150 employees volunteered 536 hours to organizations including Habitat for Humanity and the Houston Food Bank.

Company culture also contributed to DataCert’s win. The company’s values are built around teamwork, customer focus, innovation, initiative and quality. Employee perquisites include quarterly town hall meetings, company happy hours, a casual dress code, service awards, complimentary snacks and drinks and an open door policy.

“We take our company culture very seriously,” said Eric M. Elfman, president and CEO of DataCert. “It provides valuable balance as we continue to rapidly expand our services, products and geographic presence. We’re honored that the Houston Business Journal has recognized us for our accomplishments and commitment to both our employees and the community.”

To be eligible for the Fast 100 Enterprise Champion award, companies interviewed with a judging panel that included representatives from the Houston Business Journal, Whitney National Bank, Reliant Energy, Pierpont Communications, Verizon Wireless, G&A Partners and HUB International.
