Tampa, August 17, 2016 – Herman Integration Services ranked NO. 110 on Inc. magazine’s 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.
“We’re very excited to be recognized amongst such an impressive list of companies,” said Chris Bianchet, President of Herman Integration Services. “Finding the right talent to deliver quality Audio/Visual services coupled with providing an exceptional client experience has been the cornerstone of our success.”
“Our clients expect quality and the Herman team consistently delivers. We know our greatest assets are the people who make up team Herman. Providing continuous training for our technicians in the field fueled by structured processes in the office allows us to deliver superior customer service. We value teamwork, and know that this approach is essential to the success of our clients. We are grateful to our clients for their continued support and look forward to helping them be more successful.”
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
“The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails.”
