October 2004 - Strategic Data Systems has been named one
of America’s entrepreneurial growth leaders by the renowned
Inc. magazine for the third consecutive year.
Strategic Data Systems was ranked number 352 of 500 of the
nation’s fastest growing private companies.“This
year’s crop of Inc. 500 entrepreneurs didn’t
buy into the hype,” said Inc. editor-in-chief
John Koten. “When people were practically giving away
funding in the late 1990s, these companies didn’t
overextend, and when everyone hit the panic button a few
years later, they stayed calm and seized opportunity.”
Started in 1982, the Inc.500 ranks the nation’s
leading entrepreneurial firms according to sales growth over
the previous five years. Many former Inc.500
companies have gone on to become household names, such as
Microsoft, Oracle, Intuit, Timberland, Domino’s Pizza, and
E*Trade.
I am proud to be included in Inc. Magazine’s prestigious
ranking for the 3rd year in a row,” stated Jim Christopher,
President of Strategic Data Systems. “Our continued
commitment to quality service and superior customer
satisfaction have been the vital factors enabling our
sustained success. This recognition continues to affirm our
corporate values – that dedicating ourselves to the success
of our customers and employees, and maintaining integrity in
the way we run our business leads to success. Our employees
are the one’s who continue to provide these values to our
customers daily, and our recognition for this honor
continues because of the dedication and hard work by each of
them”.
In addition to this recognition, Strategic Data Systems
was recently acknowledged by The San Diego Business
Journal as the 40th Fastest Growing Private
Company in San Diego County and in March of 2004, SDS was
honored with a STARCOM Award as one of the Stars of Commerce
by the San Diego Business Journal.
