CENTARE GROUP NAMED TO 2007 INC. 5,000 WITH THREE-YEAR SALES GROWTH OF 92.2%
MILWAUKEE, September 10, 2007 – Inc. has named Centare Group to its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country and No. 32 in the Milwaukee area. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.”
Centare Group (www.centare.com) is a software development consulting firm that specializes in application development, systems integration and business intelligence. The company’s focus is on applying the appropriate technology to solve business problems.
Centare Group has created an organization that specializes in .NET, Java / J2EE, and Open Source technologies.

The company also leads Southeastern Wisconsin in the integration of Actuate Enterprise Reporting and Performance Management applications.

Our clients know what they’re getting when they utilize our services”, said Centare Group President Dave Glyzewski.
The 2007 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based and privately held, independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2006, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006. Centare Group was ranked No. 3,334 nationally.
