Inc. 5000 Ranks Dean Evans & Associates Among Fastest Growing Private Companies

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 26, 2008) - Inc. today announced that Dean Evans & Associates, Inc. has earned a spot on its annual compilation of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. The list is a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent-minded entrepreneurs. Founded more than 20 years ago, Dean Evans & Associates continues to enjoy yearly growth in sales revenue of more than 30% for its EMS (Event Management System) room and resource reservation, office "hoteling," academic scheduling and web calendar software products.

"Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism," said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth."

"The honor of being named to the Inc. 5000 coincides with our recent passing of the 3,500 mark in customer installs," says Kevin Raasch, executive vice president for Dean Evans & Associates. "What we like to take from those two numbers is that the strength of our products has allowed us to build a large and satisfied customer base that even today continues to grow at a very respectable clip."
