eBridge Leaps Ahead on Inc. 5000 List, Snags ‘Honor Roll’ Status

TAMPA, Fla. - Aug. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- As a five-time honoree on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, eBridge knows a thing or two about growing – and maintaining – a successful company in today’s business climate.

“We are thrilled to not only have achieved Honor Roll status on this list, but also to have moved up nearly 1,000 spots,” said CEO Leslie Haywood, who started the company in 2001 with business partner James Hanlon. “This speaks not only to our staff’s dedication and hard work, but also to the tremendous need that our service continues to fill across all industries – the need for a simple yet powerful and affordable paperless document management system.”

eBridge was ranked 1268 – a 916-place jump over its 2012 ranking --  in the list of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S., with a 323 percent growth rate over the past three years. The list also named eBridge No. 85 among the top 100 Florida companies and No. 15 in the Tampa Metro Area.

The list measures revenue growth from 2009 and 2012 among U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, independent companies. To be considered for the list, the company must have reported at least $100,000 in revenue in 2009 and $2 million in 2012.

eBridge, which is also a six-time recipient of the Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Fast 50 award, and has been named one of the best places to work in both Tampa Bay and Florida as a whole for several years, continues to innovate in order to meet customer needs. In addition to its hosted document management system accessible from any computer with an Internet connection, the company has developed an Android app and several features designed to make it as easy as possible to scan, store, and retrieve essential documents.

“When we founded this company 12 years ago, we had high hopes, but this kind of honor exceeds them all,” said Haywood. “We are very proud of what we have accomplished, and look forward to making additional leaps and bounds in the years to come.”
