Santa Clara, CA - Adeptol today announced that it has been named a winner for Red Herring Top 100 North America award which recognizes the leading private companies and innovative startups in North America.

Red Herring's Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Adeptol embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Adeptol should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was very strong."

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in North America.

Adeptol's selection as a winner recognizes the company's technology innovation and increasing market adoption of its elastic document viewing platform. Adeptol's products are being used by businesses worldwide for viewing more than 300 file formats within proprietary or industry leading electronic content management systems like Microsoft SharePoint, EMC Documentum and others.

Prateek Kathpal, CEO of Adeptol stated, "We are truly honored to receive the award from Red Herring. Our approach to allow users to view documents at faster speed sets us apart from competitors. While most vendors focus on an ActiveX or plug-in based document viewing, Adeptol provides viewing of virtually any document format without installing or downloading any additional components on their computers. Enterprises are responsive to our approach because thin client elastic viewing offers unique advantages and can be integrated with any system or application easily."
