Saratoga No. 2989 on the 2010 Inc. 5000 with Three Year Sales Growth of 71%
New York, (August 27, 2010) - Inc. magazine today ranked Saratoga Technologies NO. 2989 on its fourth annual Inc. 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-minded entrepreneurs. Music website Pandora, convenience store chain 7-Eleven, Brooklyn Brewery, and Radio Flyer, maker of the iconic children’s red wagon, are among the prominent brands featured on this year’s list.
“The leaders of the companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression,” said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. “The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs.”
Saratoga Technologies (www.saratogaus.com), a total solutions information technology company, focuses on adding value to their clients by reducing their costs and increasing their productivity through the implementation and optimization of technology solutions. They serve the Tri-Cities, TN/VA, Knoxville, TN, Pigeon Forge, TN, Morristown, TN and Abingdon, VA markets.
“We are honored to be recognized for a third year in a row,” said Saratoga President, David Temple. “This economy has been tough and you really have to provide clients with outstanding value in order to continue growing.”
The 2010 Inc. 5000, unveiled today on Inc.com, serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy. The Government Services sector showed the biggest gain in terms of the number of companies on the list, up 33 percent from last year to 335 companies. Government Services was also the second-fastest-growing sector in terms of median revenue growth, posting a 202 percent gain over the 2006-2009 measuring period. More than half of these companies are based in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. The fastest-growing sector by median revenue growth was Real Estate, now just a tiny group of 38 young, small companies, which showed 231 percent median growth over the period. (There were 121 Real Estate firms on the inaugural Inc. 5000 in 2007.) Business Products & Services is the top industry by number of companies on the list (640) and total revenue ($80.7 billion), while Health is the biggest by total employment (287,726 jobs).
Despite the fact that most of this year’s measuring period of 2006-2009 took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. The effects of the recession are seen, however, in the median three-year growth rate, which dropped to 96 percent from last year’s 126 percent. This year’s Inc. 5000 employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year’s list. With unemployment remaining stubbornly high, policymakers and business leaders will do well to look to the Inc. 5000 companies for fresh ideas on achieving growth and creating jobs.
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 on www.inc.com/5000.
The Hottest Regions for Fast-Growing Companies
Once again, California tops the Inc. 5000 with the most companies of any state with 684. The Golden State is followed by Texas (404), New York (353), Virginia (293), and Florida (262). All 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, are represented on this year's list.
New York boasts 410 Inc. 5000 companies, making it the top metro area, followed by Washington, D.C. (363), Los Angeles (262), Chicago (203), and Boston (189).
The Inc. 5000 at a Glance
The Real Estate sector, although small, was the top-performing industry, with a total growth rate of 189 percent. Software was second with a growth rate of 126 percent, and Telecommunications was third with 119 percent.
In total, the companies on the Inc. 5000 have created 1.4 million jobs. The Health sector is the top employer with 287,726 jobs, followed by Business Products & Services (230,066), Food & Beverage (108,344), Human Resources (107,924), and Retail (96,858). Business Products & Services had the most companies on this year’s list with 640, followed by IT Services (607), Advertising & Marketing (410), Health (396), and Government Services (336).
This year’s fastest-growing company is Ambit Energy, a Dallas-based firm that buys electricity and natural gas at wholesale prices and resells the energy to customers acquired through a direct sales channel. The company saw $325 million in revenue in 2009 and a three-year growth rate of 20,369 percent.
The top woman-run company is Lexicon Consulting (No. 4 overall), based in El Cajon, California. Lexicon creates mock Iraqi and Afghan villages used to train military personnel. The firm, founded by Jamie Arundell-Latshaw in 2005, recorded revenue of $17.9 million in 2009 and a three-year growth rate of 14,018 percent. The top minority-run company is WDFA Marketing (No. 5 overall), a San Francisco–based firm that specializes in guerrilla, grass-roots, and micromarketing. WDFA, founded by Raj Prasad, posted revenue of $38.4 million in 2008 and a three-year growth rate of 13,350 percent.
The Inc. 5000 posted an aggregate revenue of $321.6 billion in 2009, up more than 50 percent from the previous year. The top five industries by total revenue are Business Products & Services ($84.7 billion), Health ($48.3 billion), Consumer Products & Services ($26.4 billion), Retail ($22.3 billion), and Government Services ($15.1 billion).

Methodology
The 2010 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2006 to 2009. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by June 30, 2006. Additionally, they had to be based in the United States, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2009.

As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. The top 10 percent of companies on the list constitute the Inc. 500, now in its 29th year.

Saratoga Technologies is presented the ESGR “Pro Patria Award”
Johnson City, TN (March 15, 2010) - Saratoga Technologies was today presented the ESGR "Pro Patria Award". This is the highest award that can be presented by a state to an employer for their support of Guard and Reserve Forces. The Pro Patria Award is given annually to one employer in the state who has demonstrated outstanding support for the Guard and Reserve. Saratoga Technologies has supported its Guard and Reserve employees by maintaining contact with them while they are in annual training or activated for deployment, participating in ESGR activities such as lunch with the boss, and featured Guard/Reserve employees on their website.
During the deployment of the 176 CSSB (Tennessee Army National Guard) in Gray, TN, Saratoga Technologies developed a web site for the unit which connected them with their home base in Gray, their Family Readiness Group, and Headquarters in Nashville, allowing the soldiers and family members to communicate during the deployment.
According to Joe Thomas, Chair for the Tennessee Committee of ESGR, Nashville, “Saratoga Technologies has gone above and beyond in their support for our troops. When America’s employers support our Guard and Reserve, this becomes a force multiplier that strengthens the national defense of the United States”.
"We support our employees who serve in the Guard/Reserve and are happy to do so", said David Temple, President of Saratoga Technologies. "What they do to protect America is very important."
LTC Von Weisenstein, Commander of the 176th CSSB, said "When the employers support our Guard/Reserve soldiers it makes their job a whole lot easier and helps the unit to accomplish its mission."

Saratoga Named 2009 Managed Services Provider of the Year Challenger Winner
Johnson City, TN (January 4, 2010) - Saratoga Technologies was named today among such companies as Google, Microsoft, Cisco and IBM in Channel Insider’s 2009 Bull’s Eye Awards. The Channel Insider Bull’s Eye Awards is a community-driven recognition of excellence of the vendors, executives, solution providers, products, advocates and communities that comprise the channel.
"This is among the most prestigious awards we have ever received", said Allan Walters, Senior Vice President of Saratoga Technologies. "We have worked hard to position ourselves as the leading IT provider in this region and we are committed to continuing this trend in 2010."
Award winners--selected by Channel Insider's editorial team, members of the Channel Insider Alliance and industry experts--are lauded for their contributions to the channel community in the past year. Channel Insider conferred 75 awards to vendor, distribution, solution provider and industry groups for performance excellence. Check out all the winners in the 29 Bull’s Eye Award categories. The award ranking is Champion to the top winner, Contender to the secondary winner and Challenger to the up-and-comer.
Close to 30 companies were in contention for the Managed Service Provider of the Year in this year's Channel Insider Bull’s Eye Awards. Among them are those specializing in Website and print managed services, one with 16 acquisitions under its belt and another that counts the Atlanta Falcons as a customer. Saratoga Technologies was named the 2009 Challenger for Managed Services Provider of the Year.
“This is a real honor. To be chosen from amongst our peers and be named amongst some of the best technology companies in the USA shows that not only are we able to compete with the best nationally but have been able to lead on a national stage. Many technology solution providers have not yet even embraced managed services whereas Saratoga has been innovating in this area for over five years”, said David Temple, President of Saratoga Technologies. “I am proud to be able to lead a company in Tennessee and Virginia that ranks amongst the best. This would not be possible if we were not able to attract and retain outstanding team members.”
