e-Celtic attributes its fast growth to delivering quality and certainty in technology.
Dublin, 21.11.2012 — e-Celtic today announced that it ranked number 10th in the 2012 Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Ireland. Rankings are based on average percentage revenue growth over five years and are benchmarked against thousands of companies in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
e-Celtic’s CEO, Subir Mukherjee, credits a passionate team and hard work for being able to deliver the company’s growth over the past five years. He said, “ensuring we have the best team in place and one step ahead of others in our technical processes has been our recipe for success”.
The Fast 50 programme, now in its thirteenth year in Ireland, ranks the fastest growing technology companies in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This year, there are 15 companies from Northern Ireland in the ranking. The average growth rate of the Fast 50 companies named in this year’s ranking is 556%.
Announcing the winners of the Technology Fast 50 programme, Richard Howard, Partner with Deloitte, Dublin said: “Each year, we are considerably enthused by the resilience and tenacity of the indigenous technology sector as they demonstrate high levels of growth amidst challenging economic times. One of the key drivers of this growth has been their ability to capitalise on international markets. Many Irish companies now have an increased focus on international expansion as a way to drive sustainable growth. The indigenous technology sector has been a trailblazer in this regard – some of our most successful technology companies have long been internationalising their IP and reaping the rewards. It’s encouraging to observe that so many of our Fast 50 winning companies are seeking to exploit both local and global markets to their best advantage.”
The awards took place in the Guinness Storehouse on Friday 16 November. Dr Chris Horn, co-founder and former CEO Iona Technologies, was keynote speaker at the event. Details of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking list are available to download at www.fast50.ie.

Let’s face it. Most SEO’s when they think of forums, they’re thinking of getting a profile link back to their site but not really about participating in the forum or looking at how they can add value. While everyone is on the Facebook bandwagon (and sometimes rightly so), forums are almost always overlooked as a means of creating referral traffic and more importantly sales or leads.
They say that when you market on Facebook you should imagine you’re in a pub before replying or updating your status but I think a forum is more apt for that analogy. Forums are mostly anonymous and you’re much more likely to hear the truth on them than on Facebook.
Where forums have an advantage over Facebook is that they are:
One thing forums don’t do is bring huge amounts of traffic to your site. What they will bring though is very high quality, targeted traffic. We’ve seen in our client campaigns that where a structured approach is taken in forum marketing, there is high converting traffic compared with other sources.
Remember it’s not all about dropping in your link, a mention can always work just as good if not better than a link to your website.
Pro tip: Create your own forum!
