Confluence Recognized as One of Pittsburgh’s
Fastest-Growing Companies for Ninth Year

Company Named to “Pittsburgh 100”

(Pittsburgh, PA – August 28, 2009) Confluence, the leading global provider of automated data management solutions for the investment management industry, has been recognized as one of Pittsburgh’s fastest-growing, privately held companies by the Pittsburgh Business Times.

This is the ninth year Confluence has been named to the publication’s “Pittsburgh 100” list since the company’s founding, and the third consecutive year since 2007. This year’s awards were based on the revenue growth rate for the company between 2006 and 2008.

“Now in its fifteenth year, the Pittsburgh 100 is one of the most important lists we publish,” said Alan Robertson, publisher of the Pittsburgh Business Times. “The companies on this list represent many industries and geographic locations around the region. From small firms to multi-billion dollar operations, this list demonstrates how the area remains a strong, vibrant business environment.”

Companies named to the Pittsburgh 100 were honored at an awards program at the Duquesne Club in Pittsburgh on August 27. They are highlighted in a special supplement of the Pittsburgh Business Times, which is available today.

“We are pleased to be recognized as one of the Pittsburgh 100 fastest-growing companies,” said Mark Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer of Confluence. “Confluence’s ability to perform strongly during one of the most challenging business environments in decades is a testament to our talented team of employees and their dedication to our vision and commitment to our clients’ success.”
