2011年16家增长最快的明星公司

后端保险交易服务供应商Ebix公司

排名：第19位

连续在榜年数：3年

    Ebix公司近期开展了一系列收购活动，看来的确有意成为后端保险交易领域世界领先供应商。这家为保险业提供软件和电子商务交易的公司（其71%的销售收入来自在线保险交易）过去3年间始终雄踞于《财富》杂志编制的这份榜单之上，并在2009至2010年间高居前5名。2010年，其销售收入相比2009年增长35%，达到1.322亿美元。

    但是，它一路走来并非总是坦途。Ebix公司已针对外界攻击积极反击，其一是严正谴责所谓该公司报告涉嫌误导的指责，其二是抨击近期一项称公司虚报账目达20万美元的起诉。公司称，这一起诉毫无根据，同时也微不足道，因为所涉金额相对较小。

Ebix

100 Fastest-Growing Rank: 19

Consecutive years on the list: 3

    With a string of recent acquisitions, Ebix seems to be taking seriously its goal of becoming the world's leading provider of back-end insurance transactions. The software and e-commerce provider to the insurance industry (71% of revenues came from online insurance exchanges) has been on Fortune's list for the last three years, and was in the top five in 2009 and 2010. Its revenue increased 35% from 2009 to $132.2 million in 2010.

    It hasn't all been a cakewalk, though. Ebix has aggressively denounced claims that the company's reports were misleading and recent a lawsuit claiming that it padded earnings by $200,000 -- calling the allegations both false and trivial because of the relatively small amounts in question.
