Sept. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- ATLANTA – Emerald Data Solutions™, Inc., the eGovernance pioneer and developer of BoardDocs® paperless meeting solutions, is celebrating its 500th subscriber mark. The milestone event represents the latest in a long list of achievements made by the Company, which was recently named one of the fastest growing private businesses in the nation on Inc. Magazine’s 500/5000 List.

What started in 2001 with a single subscriber has developed into the premier eGovernance solution for organizations in more than 40 U.S. states and internationally.
