Axeda was given this prestigious distinction for posting three-year sales growth of 100% from 2006-2009. The company joins other household names such as 7-Eleven, Radio Flyer, and music Web site Pandora on this year's list.

"The leaders of the companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression," said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. "The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs."

Founded in 2000, Axeda is the leading M2M cloud platform and applications company for connected products. More than 150 major organizations, including Abbott, EMC, Diebold, and NetApp, rely on the Axeda® Platform to manage, service, and track their mission-critical assets worldwide.

Axeda's success through the economic downturn is largely attributed to the bottom-line results that its customers have realized with its award-winning technology.  Some of these results include:  

• 70% reduction in product issue resolution time
• 20% increase in product availability
• 20% reduction in total service costs
• 15% increase in contract renewal rates

"Our success is directly tied to the success of our customers," said Dale Calder, president and CEO, Axeda. "Leading companies are differentiating and cementing their future success through cloud-based, value-added services delivered on our platform. They are just scratching the surface of the potential, and we look forward to the rapid innovation that we expect to see over the next few years."
