FORT WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- -- Inc. magazine announced its sixth annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy - America's independent entrepreneurs. Of the companies that made the list, only a small number of honorees have earned the competitive distinction 6 years in the row, including IT Solutions.
IT Solutions Consulting, Inc. (ITS) is an employee-owned, full-service technology consulting firm headquartered in Fort Washington, PA. IT Solutions provides managed network support, hosting and cloud computing services, and custom application development. Established in 1994, ITS services hundreds of companies in the Philadelphia and Mid-Atlantic region.
The list includes companies ranging across diverse industries from construction and manufacturing to IT and business services. The median growth rate of 2012 Inc. 500|5000 companies remains an impressive 97 percent. The companies on this year's list report having created over 400,000 jobs in the past three years, and aggregate revenue among the honorees reached $299 billion.
"It is a great honor to be recognized by the Inc.5000 for the sixth year in a row now," says Ted Swanson, CEO/CFO of IT Solutions. "Our continual growth is a reflection of our team's hard work and dedication to our clients. As an employee-owned company, every employee at ITS makes 100 percent decisions, 100 percent of the time and this has truly been the fuel to our success."
2012 is a noteworthy achievement for all honorees that made the Inc. 500|5000 list considering there are nearly 7 million private, employer-based companies in the U.S.A. To be ranked among the 2012 Inc. 5000, honorees had to thrive through three of the toughest years this economy has ever seen.
With the technology industry growing at such a rapid pace it can be challenging for small businesses like ITS to make a prominent footprint. Ranking 662 among tech companies in the nation, IT Solutions' growth includes a 17 percent increase in sales and the addition of 14 employees just over the past three years -- strong evidence of the firm's sustainability. "We thank our clients for their commitment and continued support. We look forward to many more years of successful partnership," Swanson adds.
"Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500/5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward. Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is," says Inc. Editor Eric Schurenberg.
