Smarsh®, a leading managed service provider of innovative, secure and reliable email archiving and compliance solutions, has been ranked second by the Portland Business Journal on its list of Oregon’s 100 fastest-growing private companies for 2008.
“With customer service ingrained in every aspect of our operation and our commitment to perpetual technological innovation, Smarsh has grown into a leader among managed service providers in the increasingly competitive message archiving and compliance market,” said Stephen Marsh, Smarsh founder and CEO. “Continued growth and success within our industry is both gratifying and motivating. We are proud of what we have accomplished, eager to keep moving forward, and humbled to be recognized by the organization’s home community along with so many great contributors to the Oregon business landscape.”
The Fastest-Growing Private 100 is the Portland Business Journal’s annually generated list of privately held companies whose growth represents the best in the region. Companies are ranked by percentage of revenue growth over three years (2005-2007). In order to qualify, private companies must be headquartered in Oregon or Clark County, Wash., exhibit revenue growth over the past three years and have compiled revenues of at least $500,000 in 2005.
Smarsh revenues grew by 330.71% from 2005-2007. Smarsh’s client base, originally built by meeting the demanding and sophisticated archiving needs of the financial services industry (including investment advisors, broker/dealers, banks and hedge funds), continues to grow and diversify as the need for electronic message archiving solutions has emerged in other industries. Over 5,000 clients currently trust Smarsh with their mission-critical data. Founded in 2001, the company processes nearly 500 million unique emails per month, archiving more than 45 million.
The Portland Business Journal honored its Top 100 for 2008 at an awards ceremony last night at the Portland Art Museum and the results are featured in the publication’s June 20 edition.
