CALGARY, Nov. 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Solium Capital Inc. ("Solium") (TSX: SUM), a leading global provider of web-based stock plan administration technology and services, announced today that it is named as one of Canada's fastest growing technology companies in the 15th annual Deloitte Technology Fast 50^TM awards.
