Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy. 

“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.  “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivaled 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,” he added.

“We thank Inc. for recognition again in 2008.  We are proud of our team’s accomplishments, and look forward to continuing to serve our customers in the rapidly-changing telecommunications field,” said Scott Fogle, co-founder and co-president of Advocate Networks.
