ATLANTA, September 5, 2014 – Rural Sourcing, leading domestic IT sourcing company focused on onshore software development and support, announced today that the company has been recognized on the Inc. 500/5000 lists of fastest growing private companies in 2014. The Inc. 500/5000 lists honor the fastest growing companies in the U.S. each year. Included on the lists are companies such as GoPro, TriNet and Nexus.
Rural Sourcing is in a rapid growth phase, resulting in the opening of a new software development center in Mobile, Alabama in early 2014. Rural Sourcing is located in an interim facility as ground is being broken on a new building to accommodate its growth just six months after it initially opened. The company is already looking for the location of its fourth location that is projected to open in 2015. In addition to the new centers, Rural Sourcing continues to add key members to its executive team. Earlier in the year, Mike Rarer was hired as the Vice President of Business Development.
“We are excited and honored to be recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing companies in 2014,” said Monty Hamilton, Chief Executive Officer at Rural Sourcing. “This is a great reflection of the accomplishments of our team and the growing adoption of our U.S. domestic sourcing model by some of the leading companies in the world..”
Over the next few years, Rural Sourcing plans to continue their growth in revenue and head count by opening up to five more development centers across the United States.
