Waltham, Massachusetts – (The Hosting News) – June 15, 2007 – Web host and integrated data management solutions firm, Phase Forward Incorporated, has been honored by the ”Globe 100” list of top-performing public companies in Massachusetts, based on a composite score derived from financial data for the four quarters ending December 31, 2006.

Phase Forward was ranked twenty-first among Massachusetts-based companies whose stock is publicly traded on NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange. Phase Forward frequently merits inclusion in the Globe’s weekly listing of the ”Life Sciences 25,” a roster of the top companies in the sector, ranked by market value.

Shirley Leung, Business Editor of the Globe remarked, ”The companies in the Globe 100 have distinguished themselves in not only their respective fields but among other Massachusetts businesses. This year’s Globe 100 highlights the broad spectrum of both old and new Massachusetts companies, from cutting-edge sectors like biotechnology to long-standing staples like construction.”

To qualify for the Globe 100, a company must have been public for the entire 2006 calendar year and have reported a positive net income for both 2005 and 2006.
