The Fastest Growing Companies Use These Technologies

Published

There are thousands of services and apps out there that can help to power business success, but which ones ares used by the best of the best?

Today’s infographic from GetVoIP looks at the tech behind the 1,250 fastest growing companies in the U.S., with a focus on what they use for their email, advertising, content management, website hosting, and analytics services.

Many of these companies are growing at triple or quadruple digit paces – so it’s worth seeing what’s being used to help manage or enhance that growth.

The Fastest Growing Companies Use These Technologies

The 1,250 companies that were analyzed in this study came from the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. This list includes upstart companies like Loot Crate ($116.2 million revenue, 3-yr growth of 66,789%) and CalCom Solar ($33.5 million revenue, 3-yr growth of 31,634%).

The software used to analyze the results was business intelligence tool BuiltWith, which dissects a company’s website to match it to a database of nearly 20,000 different services or technologies.

The Results

Some technologies were dominant in the results, including WordPress (58%) as a content management system (CMS), Google Analytics (65%) as an analytics tool, and DoubleClick.net (48%) for advertising. It is worth noting that DoubleClick was bought by Google in 2008 for $3.1 billion, and the search giant uses DoubleClick to serve ads on its extensive network.

Other categories were split, with no clear dominance. Website hosting, in particular, has GoDaddy with a 23% share and Amazon at a 17% share, but even the “Other” category is higher here with 27%. Meanwhile, email services are largely a battle between Microsoft and Google.

As a final point, it should be mentioned that many of the percentages do not add to 100% – that is because a company can use two technologies for similar purposes at the same time. For example, a company could serve Google Ads (through DoubleClick) but also ads through a different platform at the same time.

Digital technologies have become an integral part of our daily lives, transforming communications, business, health, education, and more. Yet, billions of people around the world are still offline, and digital advancement has been uneven.

Here, we map internet usage by region based on data from the World Bank’s Digital Progress and Trends Report 2023.

Digitalization Has Been Uneven

According to the World Bank, between 2018 and 2022, the world gained 1.5 billion new internet users.

In 2020 alone, the share of the global population using the internet increased by 6% (500 million people), marking the highest jump in history. India, in particular, has seen high rates of adoption. For example, in 2018, only 20% of Indians used the internet. By 2022, this percentage had grown to more than 50%.

RegionIndividuals using the internet (% of population)
East Asia & Pacific74
Europe & Central Asia87
Latin America & the Caribbean76
Middle East & North Africa77
North America92
South Asia42
Sub-Saharan Africa34

However, the progress of digitalization has been uneven both within and across countries.

In 2022, one-third of the global population remained offline, with parts of Asia and Africa still experiencing very low rates of internet usage. For instance, more than half of businesses in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Senegal reportedly lack internet connection.

According to the World Bank’s report, when fast internet becomes available, the probability of an individual being employed increases by up to 13%, and total employment per firm increases by up to 22%. Moreover, firm exports nearly quadruple with the availability of fast internet. Across Africa, 3G coverage has been associated with a reduction in extreme poverty, with reductions of 10% seen in Senegal and 4.3% in Nigeria.
