GMI Ranks Number 92 On Deloitte’s 2005 Technology Fast 500 For North America

SEATTLE - October 19, 2005 - GMI (Global Market Insite, Inc.), the only company that offers a complete integrated solution for global internet-based market research, today announced that it ranked number 92 on Deloitte’s 2005 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest-growing technology companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth from 2000 to 2004. During this period, GMI grew by 2,539 percent.

“We are honored that Deloitte is recognizing us for our rapid growth, which we attribute to being focused on, and committed to, bringing the most advanced global market research solutions to market,” said Rob Monster, GMI’s CEO and founder. “GMI will continue this growth with additional key partnerships, acquisitions, new hires and new offices worldwide to provide market research firms, and corporate market research departments, with the tools they need to conduct cost-effective market research in real time, in any language, anywhere in the world.”

The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte’s 15 regional North American Fast 50 lists, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 2000 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD or $75,000 CD and 2004 operating revenues of at least $1 million USD or CD.
