"IKANO is thriving, despite the slowing economy," says Garth Howard, IKANO President and Chief Operating Officer. "We continue to grow and develop strategic partnerships with new clients."

During the past five years, IKANO has experienced a revenue growth rate of 266%. IKANO was named the 80th fastest growing company, attributing its tremendous growth and success to a solid business model, a forward-thinking management team, and products that stay ahead of the technology curve.

"Companies are looking to IKANO to supply value-added, dynamic, customizable, scalable, and reliable client-branded IP products, services, and solutions. IKANO's branded Internet services allow our clients to establish, develop, and enhance customer relationships, while increasing revenues and lowering costs," Smith said.
