October 17, 2006 – Denver, Colo. – Jabber, Inc. today announced that Securities Industry News and the research firm Financial Insights, an IDC company, have named Jabber, Inc. among the top 5 on its SecuritiesTech 50 ranking, an international annual listing of the top vertical technology vendors providing front office solutions to the industry. According to the publication and research firm, the ranking showcases large, multi-solution firms to small, specialty shops; from traditional technology vendors to broker-dealers based on number of seats deployed in addition to recognizing firms that had shown exceptional growth over the past two years.
“Our position as a leading vendor of presence and messaging solutions to the financial services sector speaks to two truths which we believe are reaffirmed with this prestigious industry recognition,” said Paul Guerin, CEO of Jabber, Inc. “One, in the securities business, the value of information degrades rapidly with its half-life often measured in fractions of a second. And two, Jabber, Inc. is the only player in this space delivering a platform with the extensibility, scalability, and security to consistently present decision-makers with actionable intelligence at peak value.”
Jabber, Inc. ranked 5th on the list. Deployed desktops or seats-in-place was a key factor in the ranking, attesting to the company’s stability and importance to the industry.
