Today, Inc. magazine announced its 28th annual Inc. 500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Improving Enterprises, a leading provider of advanced technology training and software development solutions, ranked 120th on the list, with three-year growth of 1,417.1%.  As a first year honoree of the Inc. 500, Improving was ranked as the 8^th fastest growing IT Services company and as the 2^nd fastest-growing company in the D-FW metroplex.

“We’re excited to be recognized on such a prestigious list as the Inc 500,” said Curtis Hite, CEO Improving Enterprises. “Since the company was founded in 2004, we’ve been committed to providing our clients with the most innovative IT services solutions, while at the same time, focusing on the highest degree of customer service possible. We are proud to have created new jobs in Dallas and plan to continue this trend well into the future.”

The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, GoDaddy, Under Armour, Jamba Juice, American Apparel, Oracle, and hundreds of other powerhouses gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500.

“If you want to know which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500,” said Inc. editor Jane Berentson. “These are the most dynamic, fast-growth companies in the nation, the ones finding innovative solutions to problems, creating smart systems, and inventing products we soon discover we can’t live without. The Inc. 500 list is Inc. magazine’s tribute to American business ingenuity and ambition.”

The 2009 Inc. 500 measures revenue growth from 2005 through 2008. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2005, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2008. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2005 is $200,000; the minimum for 2008 is $2 million.
