BigMachines Featured in Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest Growing Companies for Third Consecutive Year

Inc. also ranked BigMachines number 39 in the Top 100 Businesses in the Chicago metro area, including Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, and number 75 in the Top 100 Software Companies in America. Since 2008, BigMachines has steadily risen in rank on several Inc. 5000 lists, including comparisons of growth to all private companies in the US, in Chicago and in the software industry. BigMachines' position in the Inc. 5000 list has steadily climbed from 1,425 in 2008, to 1,324 in 2009, to 1,115 in 2010.

"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."

BigMachines recently announced that the company recognized GAAP revenue increase of 99 percent for the first half of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 and committed monthly recurring revenue (CMRR) grew by 84 percent. BigMachines also added more than 30 new customers and 45 new full-time hires globally (more than 35 in the US) in the first half of 2010.

"Our continued growth in revenue and resources enables us to invest more to accelerate our innovation and provide unmatched support and service resources to our customers across the globe," said Godard Abel, CEO and co-founder of BigMachines. "BigMachines has been creating jobs year after year and the entire team takes pride in being recognized among the fastest-growing private companies for the third year in a row by Inc. magazine."
