For the 2nd Time, Abacus Data Systems appears on the Inc. 5000 list, ranking No. 880 Overall and No. 81 in IT Services with Special Recognition as the #18 Top San Diego company
SAN DIEGO, CA, August 18, 2016 – Abacus Data Systems, Inc. (Abacus), a global provider of compliance ready virtual Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings, which serve legal, financial, and healthcare organizations, announced today it has been named to Inc. Magazine’s prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for a second consecutive year. Abacus earned the #880 spot overall and ranked #81 in IT Services on Inc.’s 35thannual list, and received the honors of #18 on the ranking of Top San Diego companies.
“To be a part of the Inc. 5000 list is an honor, but to be recognized two years in a row is truly a landmark accomplishment for us,” exclaimed Alessandra Lezama, CEO of Abacus Data Systems. “Abacus is innovating across new verticals and bringing private cloud solutions to market that solve pressing issues revolving around ethics, compliance, and regulatory changes in today’s highly digitalized world.”
Under Lezama’s leadership, Abacus pioneered the legal industry’s first private cloud service offering two years ago with ‘Abacus Private Cloud’, and has since furthered its mission to provide secure, virtual Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings to other compliance-sensitive industries. This year alone, Abacus has moved into new headquarters to accommodate rapid team expansion, welcomed growth into their integrated family with the addition of Amicus Attorney, and announced a third U.S. data center to house their Cloud customers.
“As industries continue to globalize, it is imperative that organizations have a technology partner that is on the leading edge of innovation and best practices,” said Lezama. “Our growth is a clear indication of the importance of reliable cloud and IT services and support. We prioritize our efforts to ensure our customers can focus on their business, while we maintain enterprise-class technology systems to support their business goals. It is quite an honor to be among leading U.S. enterprises on such a prestigious list.”
The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue ofInc.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.
“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.”
