all industries, doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models,
as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”
President and CEO Michael Golway stated, “I am pleased to see that the
continued investment our employees and our Autodesk Partners have made in
the last three years, translates into a top ranking among some of the
country’s best privately held businesses. This success has come from having
top talent in place to execute on an aggressive, but deliberate business
plan.”

About Inc. 5000 list
The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2004
through 2007. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating
revenue by the first week of 2004, and therefore able to show four full
calendar years of sales. Additionally, they have to be U.S.-based, privately
held, for profit, and independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other
companies -- as of December 31, 2007 (a number of companies on the list have
gone public or been acquired since that date). Revenue in 2004 must have
been at least $200,000, and revenue in 2007 must have been at least $2
million. One company, Sourcentra, provided updated revenue figures that
qualified it for the Inc. 500 after the Inc. 500 issue had gone to press;
the company has since been added to the list. Full-time and part-time
employees are included in the head count; independent contractors are
excluded.
