Annex Thrives in 2009 despite Economic Climate

Vancouver, BC, June 2, 2010 – For the fourth consecutive year, Annex Consulting Group has been recognized as one of Canada’s fastest growing companies in the 22nd annual PROFIT 100 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies. This distinction sets Annex apart from its competitors in the eyes of its employees, suppliers, customers and business partners.  It is the culmination of yet another year of dedicated hard work and superior customer relationship management in an economic climate that was less than ideal.

profit 100Stacey Cerniuk, President and CEO, Annex Consulting Group, “Making this ranking again illustrates Annex’s unyielding commitment to service management. Without this, there is no way we could have retained and built our client base over the last year when all economic factors were working against us. It is a testament to the team we’ve built and our dedication to our valued clients. We are genuinely honored by our PROFIT 100 recognition.” 

Year over year, Annex has been able to boast a 97% customer satisfaction rating – unparalleled in the industry. This also accounts for the fact that a majority of Annex business is the result of referrals and renewals of contracts. In addition, Annex has been able to deliver quality services at competitive price levels that are unmatched by larger systems integrators competing in the Vancouver and Victoria marketplaces. This demonstrates the essence of the Annex Value Proposition: Annex plays a niche role in the IT services marketplace by providing many of  the benefits of multinational consulting firms (best practices, proven methodologies, centralized project management, etc.) but at a much lower cost.

Published in the June issue of PROFIT and online at PROFIT100.com, the PROFIT 100 is Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement. “Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies are the poster children for entrepreneurship, innovation and pure tenacity,” says Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT. “They demonstrate what it takes to succeed in today’s highly competitive, technology-driven global economy.”
