08/20/2008
Three-Year, Near 300% Sales Growth Pushes Company Ahead of Competitors
NEW YORK, New York - Inc.com today named Blue Fish Development Group, the enterprise content management experts, to its list of the country's fastest growing private companies. The Inc 5000 list is the most comprehensive look at what many consider to be the most important segment of the economy – America's independent-minded entrepreneurs. Blue Fish was the fourth fastest growing IT Services firm in Central Texas and the fastest growing firm in the country with a Documentum focus.
Ranked by revenue growth over the past three years, the Inc. 5000 list reveals that Blue Fish has moved to the number 1347 spot, up significantly from number 2938 last year. 282.1% sales growth from 2004 to 2007 drove the company's upward trajectory on this prestigious list. But to Blue Fish, more important than the rate of growth is why it happened.
"We're honored to again be recognized on the Inc. 5000 list," said Blue Fish CEO Michael Trafton. "In particular, we are proud that much of this growth came from repeat business with our existing client base." Blue Fish's focus on client satisfaction, as well as their undying quest to increase the ROI of their clients' enterprise content management investments, has been a key driver of the company's reputation as the leading provider of custom, complex ECM solutions for many of the world's most successful businesses.
Blue Fish is not taking its remarkable growth for granted. The company has spent recent years expanding its offerings and capabilities to better serve their clients. "Our investment in new content management offerings should be especially helpful as our clients look for new ways to weather these turbulent economic times," explained Trafton.
"Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues to be the most ambitious project in business journalism," said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth."
