POOLESVILLE, Md. – Corporate Network Services (CNS), an IT consulting company based in Poolesville, Md., today announced that it has been included in Inc. Magazine’s third annual Inc. 5000 List, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies according to percentage revenue growth from 2005 to 2008. The list represents a comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy-growth oriented firms that are responsible for job creation. CNS grew its number of employees over 50 percent during this span.

CNS’ inclusion in this prestigious list is a testament to the company’s focus on growth through providing best-in-class technology solutions and customer service, including its managed services solution—PROSuite™.

“It’s always been a goal of mine to be on this list,” said Karen Kalantzis, CNS CEO. “I am very proud of our employees’ accomplishments, especially over the past three years, and the partnership we have with our customers and vendors.”

The company’s commitment to superior support has allowed CNS to flourish since its inception in 1993.

The Alliance for Workplace Excellence also honored CNS with a Best Place to Work award for the last four years and gave it the Eco-Leadership award.
