Tampa, FL – September 1, 2010 -- Pilgrim Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of Enterprise Risk, Compliance and Quality Management (ERCQM) software solutions, today announced it has been named to Inc. magazine’s fourth annual Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. According to Inc., the list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

“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.”

The 2010 Inc. 5000, unveiled this month on Inc.com, serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy. Despite the fact that most of this year’s measuring period (2006-2009) took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. This year’s Inc. 5000 companies employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year’s list.

“We are pleased to have been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the country,” said Ami Utji, founder and President of Pilgrim Software.  “This ranking reflects the success that we have been able to attain despite negative economic forecasts and an overall slow global business environment.  It’s a testament to the fact that our employees refuse to be stopped by the economy and instead, have continued to persevere – and succeed.”
