9th November 2012: Innovative remote access technology company RealVNC has been ranked in the Deloitte UKTechnology Fast 50, which recognises the fastest growing technology companies in the UK. Now in its fifteenth year, the Fast 50 is based on percentage revenue growth over the last five years, ranking RealVNC as the fastest growing software company in Cambridge.
“The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 gives great profile to technology companies and is internationally recognised as being one of the most important business awards in the sector,” said David Halstead, Lead Partner, Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 and Technology Fast 500 EMEA Programmes.
RealVNC provides powerful VNC® remote access software for desktop and mobile platforms enabling users to access and fully control one device from another, anywhere in the world. With half a billion copies of the software worldwide, it is used by individuals, Fortune 500 companies, governments and in education. An extensive range of applications includes IT support and maintenance, remote working and training across classrooms, offices or continents.
RealVNC also collaborates with leading players in the technology industry, including Intel that integrates VNC on its chips for PCs and laptops; and Google, to supply technology and expertise to enable remote access functionality from its Chrome products. RealVNC is also at the forefront of innovation in the automotive industry, where it is the standard for integrating smartphones with in-vehicle infotainment systems.
“RealVNC has not only has been profitable from day one, but has demonstrated stellar growth that puts it in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50. To achieve this without external investment is extraordinary, and demonstrates world-class innovation in both engineering and business. Yet another Cambridge success story!” Dr Julian Huppert, MP for Cambridge.
RealVNC’s commitment to engineering excellence and success in overseas markets – with 90% of sales outside the UK – was also recognised last year with a unique double Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for Innovation and International Trade.
“We have kept the technology simple and to the point. The clever thing has been making sure that it is portable to new platforms and new applications. We are still creating new markets for our technology in automotive and home entertainment, with many others in the pipeline,” said Dr Andy Harter, CEO at RealVNC and the person originally responsible for VNC. “To be included in the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50 and to be ranked the fastest growing software company in Cambridge is a great achievement that recognizes the contributions made over a prolonged period by
