I'd like to offer Five Nines -- a managed service provider in Lincoln, Neb. -- two rounds of applause. First, for ranking No. 394 on Inc. magazine's annual list of the fastest-growing U.S. companies. And second, for being smart enough to participate in the Inc. 500 survey and then promoting the honor to media.

I’d like to offer Five Nines — a managed service provider in Lincoln, Neb. — two rounds of applause. First, for ranking No. 394 on Inc. magazine’s annual list of the fastest-growing U.S. companies. And second, for being smart enough to participate in the Inc. 500 survey and then promoting the honor to media. This is a timely reminder that media surveys can shine a big spotlight on your business. Here’s how.

Five Nines‘ three-year growth rate is a stunning 649.1%. Instead of bragging to a few neighbors, Five Nines is using the Inc. 500 survey to brag to the world. Also, check out how Five Nines distinguishes itself from other MSPs:

Traditional Managed Services organizations approach business with the ‘how many desktops’ and ‘how many servers’ question.  Five Nines takes into account the skill-sets of internal staff, complexity of the environment and the areas that need focus.  By serving the customer with a local sales person and an accessible engineer, customers get the expertise and attention they need and deserve.

Five Nines used the Inc. 500 award as an opportunity to gather customer endorsements from the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, the Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center and Cornhusker Bank.

Smart. Smart. And Smart. Some MSPs claim to be business- and vertical-market focused. Five Nines is backing it up with customer statements of support. That, in turn, may help Five Nines to attract more vertical market customers.
