Solekai Systems Named to Inc. Magazine’s 2007 List of America’s 500 Fastest Growing Companies
Solekai Systems has been ranked the 101st fastest growing company in America by Inc. magazine and appears in their 2007 edition of the annual top 500 list. In the category of Computers and Electronics Solekai was ranked as the second leading company.
“If you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. Editor Jane Berentson. “These are the most innovative, dynamic, fast-growing companies in the nation, the ones coming up with solutions to some of our most intractable ills, [and] creating systems that let us conduct business faster and easier...”
Solekai Systems is the world’s largest independent engineering services company specializing in digital video product design, implementation, and testing.
“We are very excited about making it into Inc. magazine’s list of fastest growing companies,” says Martin Caniff, President of Solekai Systems. “It’s a testament to the talent and hard work of all the great people at Solekai that we have been able to grow this quickly.”
Digital video companies choose to outsource to Solekai to quickly increase staffing or acquire a missing set of critical technical skills. Solekai’s unique combination of broad technical experience, staffing depth, and services-focused business model enables it to consistently deliver successful results.
Headquartered in San Diego, California, Solekai Systems opened a second office in Boulder, Colorado in 2005. The Boulder facility contains Solekai’s Independent Test Lab (ITL). The lab represents the cable TV industry’s first testing facility that is truly independent, without alliances to products or companies.
Solekai Systems recently developed a PC-based platform for cable development testing called the DV-TIDETM (Digital Video Test, Integrate, Develop, Evolve). This platform represents a lower cost and portable alternative to standard cable headend equipment.
Here’s what Inc. magazine has to say about Solekai Systems: “What it does: Develops digital video hardware and software—chiefly set-top boxes—for customers like Sony, TiVo, and Pioneer. Why it’s growing: Television formats new (cable, satellite, high-definition) and newer (mobile, Internet-based) are producing so many products that the engineering departments of consumer-electronics companies can’t keep up. That’s where Solekai steps in.” (Inc., September 2007, p. 102)
