November 12, 2009; Portage, MI – Manatron, Inc., a global leader in providing integrated, enterprise-level records management and property software solutions for state and local governments, today announced that it has been recognized by Everything Channel on the Fast Growth 50 Up-And-Comers list, an exclusive list of technology integrators, VARs, resellers and consultants that have experienced above-average sales growth.
The Fast Growth 50 Up-And-Comers is a listing of IT solution providers that experienced above-average sales growth between 2006 and 2008. This exclusive group includes companies that reported revenue increases of between 20 percent and 54 percent.
Over the past several years, Manatron revenues have grown from $40 million to nearly $75 million. This success has come through both organic growth and the strategic acquisition of various firms in the industry.
Organically, Manatron has signed and implemented several new clients during this time including: Santa Cruz County, California; Waukesha County, Wisconsin; Palm Beach County, Florida; and Santa Fe, New Mexico. In addition, Manatron’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art technology and timely service to its customers has allowed the company to sustain a large and diversified client base across the globe.
Through the deliberate acquisition of several firms throughout the industry, Manatron has not only gained a significant increase in customer base, but also additional products and services that tactically align with the Company’s focus on local government property solutions and services. Perhaps most importantly, the individuals gained through these acquisitions are some of the best in the industry and strengthen Manatron’s unequaled subject matter knowledge.
“Manatron is honored to be recognized by the Everything Channel for our growth and focus over the last several years,” said Bill McKinzie, Manatron President and CEO. “I am proud of our Leadership and Management teams who have diligently worked to develop and implement a plan to make us successful. Awards such as these validate and reward those efforts.”
Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice president and editorial director for Everything Channel, said, “The companies that are included on this list are channel industry leaders. They offer business-oriented IT consulting and work closely with their customers to integrate IT solutions as well as cutting-edge technologies. In addition, they understand the importance of strong sales philosophies.”
