The milestone event represents the latest in a long list of achievements made by the Company, which was recently named one of the fastest growing private businesses in the nation on Inc. Magazine’s 500/5000 List.
What started in 2001 with a single subscriber has developed into the premier eGovernance solution for organizations in more than 40 U.S. states and internationally. By committing to being best-in-class from day one, Emerald Data Solutions now helps organizations of all sizes save money, save time and operate more effectively around the clock. The Company attributes exceptional employees, loyal subscribers and leading Association Partners as key pillars of its success.
