Ramp Group has been named to the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America list, announced Robb Nielsen, a managing member of the firm.

Ramp Group took the #1 spot for revenue growth among consulting firms in the Western United States and 3rd for consulting firms throughout the country, in addition to being recognized as the 552nd fastest growing on Inc. Magazine's list of 5,000 companies.

The firm grew 569% between 2003 and 2006, achieving revenues of $9.5 million last year. It will post its greatest revenue in 2007 and is expected to continue strong growth in 2008.

"This level of achievement speaks directly to the expertise and business savvy of the people we've been fortunate enough to attract to Ramp Group," said Nielsen. "Our clients are today's rising entrepreneurs and world-class business leaders-they quite rightly expect their needs to come first and to be met with exemplary talent. We're very proud that so far all of Ramp Group's growth has come from word-of-mouth and referrals. It means we are meeting that challenge."

Ramp Group's clients range from emerging technology companies such as Groundspeak, the leading facilitator for global geocaching, and Washington State's Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. The firm is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and a Certified Integrator to Amazon Web Services.

"One of the things that sets us apart is that Ramp Group is equally strong in user experience design and software development. It is a natural pairing required for successful products, but a hard-to-find combination of talents," explained Terry Drayton, managing member. "Our clients can come to us very early in the process and know we can help them with the big picture-who will use their product, how they'll use it and what it will mean to their business."
