SEB Ranked as Canada's Top Growth Company in the ICT Sector by
Branham Group
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 28, 2014) - Smart Employee
Benefits Inc. (SEB) (TSX-VENTURE:SEB) announced today that it has
been ranked as Canada's top growth company by the Branham Group
Inc. (Branham) in its 2014 Edition of the Branham300. As a leading
industry research and strategic consulting company focused on the
technology sector, Branham's annual directory highlights the top
300 Canadian and multinational Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) companies operating in Canada. Along with being
recognized with the number one spot in the Branham300's 'Top10
Growth Companies' category, SEB has also been named in the
directory's 'Top 25 Canadian Up and Comer ICT Companies' and 'Top
250 Canadian ICT Companies' lists.
SEB has earned its leading position in the Branham300 based on
its annual growth of 3233% for 2013. "We are honoured to be
recognized for the aggressive growth that SEB has achieved in an
effort to offer the most robust and innovative group benefits
processing environment available in the Canadian healthcare
industry," said Adam Jasek, EVP Strategic Business Development,
Acquisitions and Joint Ventures at SEB. "SEB's growth plan for 2013
was acquisition-based and the clear progress that we have made in
this regard has positioned us well for anticipated strong growth
and sustainable profitability into the future."
The Branham300's list of the top up and coming ICT companies, in
which SEB has also been included, is based on creativity and
innovation, whether in a new technology area or as a result of
optimizing existing technology in an innovative manner. Although
SEB specializes in data management technologies with specialty
practices in healthcare group benefits management, its competitive
advantage is linked to its technology platform. "Our technology is
what sets us apart in the healthcare industry since it brings
together total business processing services for group benefit
solutions and health claims processing on one fully-integrated
technology environment," said John McKimm, CEO, President and CIO
at SEB. "To be named one of Canada's top 25 up and coming ICT
companies is a strong testament to our technology innovation."
Notably, several of SEB's subsidiaries have also been listed in
the directory's top 250 list. This provides further recognition of
the company's overall capabilities. "This is the first year SEB has
made it into the top 250 but with such potential, this young
company has a bright future and will be expected to be on the
Branham300 for the foreseeable future," said Wayne Gudbranson,
President and CEO of Branham Group.
