SADA Systems Named As Finalist In 2014 American Business Awards(SM)

LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SADA Systems, a global leader in cloud computing solutions and IT consulting, was named a Finalist today in the Fastest Growing Company of the Year, Technology category in The 2014 American Business Awards, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie® Award winner in the program.

The American Business Awards are the nation's premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. The American Business Awards will be presented at two awards events: the ABA's traditional banquet on Friday, June 13 in Chicago and the new product & technology awards event on Friday, September 12 in San Francisco.

SADA Systems has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years, with an 84% increase in employee count from 51 employees in 2012 to 94 employees in 2013. SADA Systems also grew in sales revenue from $18.2 million in 2012 to $28.2 million in 2013, an increase of nearly 54%. This revenue growth is attributed to several factors: continuously developed technical acumen, a focus on client satisfaction from the beginning conceptualization and consulting phase, to the technical support delivered following the project close.

In accordance to the company's strategic growth plans following the expansion of services delivery model across cloud and IT solutions, SADA Systems increased its employee count dramatically in order to manage the deployment and support of its newest offerings. These new offerings include: Google geospatial solutions, Google Enterprise Search, as well as enterprise social consulting and deployment with Yammer. SADA Systems has also expanded its support and development services for the cloud, including complete managed cloud services for Microsoft Office 365 with SADA CloudServ, and custom-developed solutions to move infrastructure to the cloud with Infrastructure Migration to Google Cloud Platform services. SADA Systems also focused on growing its development team to deepen cross-platform expertise, as well as increase the company's body of technical certifications, improving service delivery across all projects.  

"At SADA, we believe technology can empower people to change their world - in order to help our clients achieve their goals, we must employ the best and most skilled people in the world on our team," said Tony Safoian, President and CEO of SADA Systems. "We're also lucky to have the backing of our partners, Google and Microsoft, as well as the support of our clients, which helps us stay ahead of the curve and plays a crucial role in our success to deliver the best cloud solutions and services."

SADA Systems, a Google Maps Premier Partner and Google Apps Premier Enterprise Reseller, was recently named a 2013 North America Partner of the Year for Google Maps and Google Apps for Government. SADA was also a Microsoft 2013 Cloud Partner of the Year finalist, and one of few Microsoft National Systems Integrators (NSIs) in the US. SADA Systems has led some of the largest cloud migration projects in North America, including Chicago Public Schools, Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), City of Omaha, BCBGMaxazria, Yahoo! and others.

Finalists were chosen by more than 150 business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May.  More than 150 members of several specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place May 13-22. 

"The final judges have a difficult task ahead of them, to rank the Finalists, because there are so many great nominations this year," said Stevie Awards president and founder Michael Gallagher.
