Entrepreneur magazine has named Evolve IP, the Cloud Services Company, as one of the “Best Entrepreneurial Companies in America” in its Entrepreneur360 Performance Index, a study that provides a comprehensive analysis of private companies in the U.S.

Wayne based Evolve IP, was highlighted as a company that is not only focused on top and bottom line growth, but also exemplifies development in sustainability and the ability to achieve long-term success.

“To be named one of the best entrepreneurial companies in America is a great honor and we are very pleased to be included in the inaugural E360 Performance Index,” said Thomas J. Gravina, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Evolve IP.

“For nearly a decade now Evolve IP’s innovations in the Cloud have helped define the market and significantly improved how our customers run their businesses. We’re looking forward to continued growth and have a clearly marked roadmap that will take us to even greater success.”

The decision on the top performers was made after evaluating close to 10,000 U.S. based firms. The editors and researchers that make up the E360 Performance Index team collected over 250 pieces of data from the finalists with a focus on analyzing the growth drivers and challenges, the setting of goals, allocation of resources, and reward systems.

The study uncovered six paths: best practitioners; data champions; controllers; classics; forward thinkers; and contrarians; which secure sustainable growth and the index recognizes the distinguished group of extraordinary companies which demonstrated that growth.

“Those honored have identified a problem, come up with a unique solution, and bravely built their enterprises around it,” said Ryan Shea, President of Entrepreneur Media.

These companies’ continued success can be attributed to superior value creation for their customers, developing of an adaptive learning culture, and aggressive geographic expansion, making them some of the most dynamic firms in nation today.

Gary Kunkle, a Senior Research Fellow at the Business Dynamics Research Consortium and research partner of the E360 Performance Index added that “The companies identified in the E360 Index are sustained growers, and based on our research, have proven adept at navigating the changing challenges of their marketplace to win new business and grow their output capacity year after year.”
