DataArt was placed in the top third of the list, with an impressive three year growth rate of 171%. DataArt is ranked #114 overall in the Software Industry category and is one of only 410 companies from New York State to make the list.
“Despite the market slump of 2009, DataArt recorded a steady year-to-year revenue growth for the last decade, with 2010 proving to be our best year yet,” said Eugene Goland, President of DatAart. “Our core practices, financial, travel and healthcare, have performed especially well, with important new clients added in the last few months.”
“The leaders of the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression,” said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. “The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs.”

DataArt was hired to develop a mobile application for BlackBerry® and Android™ phones. The engagement includes configuring a management system which contains a correct software build for each supported mobile device operating system and selects the right build for downloading to each participating device.
“We chose DataArt for their demonstrated mobile technology skills,” said Allan Lees, Chief Operations Officer of TexTango™. “We received great support from the start, and their developers provided us with the highest level of professionalism every step of the way.”
Besides the mobile apps, DataArt will work on a Web-based version of the application, which will include incorporating functionality from TexTango™ site and its advertisers, developing a content distribution system, integration with payment, accounting and e-mail management systems as well as database implementation.
The TexTango™ network supports charitable nonprofit organizations displaying their advertisements in rotation, including UNICEF, Rady Children's Hospital, Empowering Spirits and the Life Rolls On Foundations, and America's Toothfairy.
"We value clients like TexTango™ for their vision and commitment to a new, big idea,” said Eugene Goland, President of DataArt. “They’re challenging us and their customers to create a better future of mobile advertising options, and we’re happy to bring their vision to life, to become the trusted partner that DataArt strives to be for every client.”
DataArt today announced it has been selected by FX Bridge Technologies Corporation as a project technology partner in migrating its unique trader utilities for its new platform release.
FX Bridge Technologies Corporation is a leading global provider of innovative software solutions to companies which participate in the foreign exchange marketplace. Its flagship product ProTrader Plus™ offers real-time spot, CFD, and options trading in the same account, which provides the dealer, broker, and trader the most comprehensive tools suite available today for the richest trading experience.
DataArt was approached to convert many of the value-add utilities from Visual Basic 6 to .NET 3.5. “Choosing a technology partner is unnerving, especially in the financial technology field where mistakes can mean millions of dollars,” said James Friedman, COO of FX Bridge. “DataArt received our business because they took the time to truly understand what we needed, and provided great support and planning even before we signed the contract.”
The conversion from VB 6 to .NET was not a mere code replacement but included significant design and framework ramifications. DataArt worked closely with FX Bridge to implement the improved framework whereby the UI style, internationalization and business logic elements were separated, which resulted in optimized performance and increased supportability for future enhancements and releases.
“It’s always gratifying to be selected to work with leaders in the industry,” said Eugene Goland, President of DataArt. “We have a deep appreciation of the discipline, commitment to quality and innovation required to build a world class platform for the foreign exchange that is ProTrader Plus™.”
To add to the challenge, the platform reads, stores and manipulates massive amounts of transactional data representing millions of dollars. In handling complex financial derivatives, these tools required rigorous quality assurance procedures to meet exacting financial engineering standards.
“The quality of DataArt’s work meant fewer loop-backs to fix bugs or reengineer features. We look forward to our next opportunity to work together,” said Friedman.

“DataArt is delighted to become a trusted development partner for TheMarkets.com,” said Eugene Goland, President of DataArt. “We see a great match in three key aspects: the focus on delivering information to asset management firms, many of which DataArt already serves as a development partner, the culture of out-of-the-box thinking that attracts the best talent in the industry, and a passion to deliver quality services to a demanding client base.”
