MMAC Recognizes Webcom as One of Fastest-Growing Companies in Southeastern Wisconsin
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 26, 2005 – Webcom, Inc., the leader in simplified quote-to-order enablement for the selling of complex products and services, is proud to announce their selection as one of this year’s ‘Future 50’ Award Winners from the Metro Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC).
The Small Business Times and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently announced this year’s Future 50 winners. The award is presented by the MMAC and its Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) to fifty local businesses who have shown considerable growth in sales and employment, are less than 10 years old, privately held and located in the metro Milwaukee area.
“Determination is 90% of success. That same determination demonstrated by every person within our firm helps keep us in a thought leadership position with our products and maintains the highest level of customer satisfaction and success,” said Aleks Ivanovic, CEO and founder of Webcom. “All of our customers implement the software and all that have implemented are still using the solution: that is a rarity in our industry where shelf-ware, software purchased but never implemented, is all too common,” Ivanovic added.
The winners were selected from over 100 nominations and are considered to be the fastest-growing companies in Southeastern Wisconsin. Thirty percent of this year’s winners are technology companies, a marked increase from the 18% of the 2004 winners.
The MMAC launched the Future 50 Program in 1980 as a way to recognize the outstanding achievements of local, fast-growing companies. The program promotes young companies in Milwaukee, and is recognized as an important asset to the city’s economic growth.
