Duck Creek Technologies named by Inc. Magazine as one of America’s fastest growing private companies

1,131% growth over three years lands Duck Creek in the #63 spot on the 2005 Inc. 500 list

Bolivar, MO, November 1, 2005 - Duck Creek Technologies, Inc., announced today that it has been named to Inc. Magazine’s list of America’s fastest growing privately held companies. In Inc.’s recently released 24th annual Inc. 500, Duck Creek’s three-year growth rate of 1,131% earned the company the #63 spot.

According to Doug Roller, Duck Creek’s CEO, "We are honored to be included on the Inc. 500. Making the list represents the combined work and dedication of many employees over the past five years. Our goal is to build a great long-term company, and this milestone is one of many along the way to that goal."

The Inc. 500 ranks privately held companies according to year-over-year sales growth from 2001 to 2004. With approximately 75% of all new job creation in the U.S. coming from entrepreneurial businesses, the Inc. 500 opens a window onto the companies and industries that are driving the economy forward. Over the years, the Inc. 500 has identified the next generation of world-class companies, with Microsoft, Stonyfield Farms, Timberland, Oracle, The Princeton Review, Morningstar, Jamba Juice, Gateway, E*Trade, Intuit, and Domino’s Pizza all appearing on the list before they became industry powerhouses.

To be eligible for this year’s Inc. 500, companies had to be U.S.-based, independent and privately held through their fiscal year 2004, and have had at least $500,000 in net sales in the base year of 2001. In addition, their 2004 sales had to exceed 2003 sales. Companies are ranked on cumulative three-year sales growth from 2001 to 2004. Inc. verifies all information using tax forms and audited financial statements from certified public accountants and by conducting interviews with company officials.
