Atlanta, GA -- Northridge, the Premier Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in the Southeast focused on Business Intelligence (PerformancePoint), Corporate Portals (SharePoint), Application Development (.NET), and IT Infrastructure, announced 24% revenue growth in 2008 as it embarks on its 10th Anniversary in business. Over the five year period from 2003 through 2008, Northridge has delivered a market-leading Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 50.4% per year.
The Atlanta-based consulting firm was incorporated in 1999, by co-founders Rob Patten and Jeremey Zela. With both founders still at the helm, Northridge’s growth has consistently outpaced the IT Services sector, and the firm has received many prestigious distinctions along the way including the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Top 50 Fastest Growing Metro Atlanta Private Companies in 2008.
Northridge’s rich growth history is supported by the ongoing partnership it garners with Microsoft, with Northridge holding more than 75 customer references and seven Microsoft competencies including: Advanced Infrastructure, Business Intelligence, Custom Development, Data Management, Information Worker, Networking Infrastructure and Security Solutions. Northridge leverages a wide array of Microsoft-based technologies to deliver mission-critical business solutions to its mid-market to enterprise customers.
“Driving a 50.4% Compound Annual Growth Rate over the past five years is truly remarkable and we are particularly pleased with our ability to sustain strong growth in the recessionary environment of 2008,” said Rob Patten, CEO of Northridge. “We have our incredible customers to thank for their continued trust in our ability to deliver superior value and a consistent, measurable ROI. As we proudly head into our 10th year of business in 2009, we are excited about all that the future holds and we look forward to continuing to help our customers achieve their key business objectives in a cost-effective manner.”
