"Our ability to grow in challenging economic times really reinforces our dedication to the cloud-based technologies that we support and the outstanding consulting team that we've built," said CEO Steve Jones. "We feel fortunate to work with so many great clients, many of whom also made the list this year."

The company credits its continued growth to increased demand for software as a service (SaaS), addition of new business lines, and its strong recurring customer base. Explore Consulting is a leading solution provider for NetSuite (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials/ERP software suites. With a heavy focus on integration and extensibility of cloud-based business systems, Explore has developed industry-leading PC and mobile platforms for seamless data integration in the cloud. Additionally, Explore was selected this year as one of the Amazon WebStoresolution providers and that has led to growth in Explore’s  Ecommerce practice.

The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2006 through 2009. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2006, and therefore be able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies -- as of December 31, 2009. Revenue in 2006 must have been at least $200,000, and revenue in 2009 must have been at least $2 million.
