As an Inc. 500 honoree, Ciphent shares this pedigree with notable alumni who are among the nation's most successful companies.
James C. Foster, Ciphent's CEO, expressed his excitement for the company's accomplishment in saying, "It is of the utmost pleasure to receive such an honor from Inc Magazine.

As an organization, we will accept this award on behalf of every partner and client that we have had the opportunity to serve over the past few years.
