MITCHEL FIELD, NY, November 1, 2002 — OpenLink, an industry leader in financial and energy trading and risk management software solutions, has been recognized as one of Long Island's leading privately owned businesses for its 96.76% revenue growth rate between 2000 and 2001.

Sponsored by KPMG LLP, Long Island Business News and Hofstra University, the Long Island Entrepreneurial Spirit Awards honor the region's "Top 50" and "25 Fastest Growing" privately held businesses. OpenLink, while ranking eleventh last year, placed third on the "25 Fastest Growing" list and forty-fifth among the "Top 50."
