Atlanta, GA -- Northridge is pleased to announce a successful year in 2009, the firm’s 10th anniversary, highlighted by the addition of 79 new clients, the strategic acquisition of BE Consulting, and a new regional office in Raleigh, NC. While the weak macroeconomic environment presented challenges for all companies, Northridge generated strong net income on the year while continuing to invest heavily in the future growth platform of the business through strategic acquisition and the hiring of key senior-level personnel. Northridge enters 2010 with robust momentum characterized by record-level monthly new sales while maintaining healthy sales pipeline and revenue backlog figures.

In the second half of 2009, Northridge saw a steadily increasing market demand within its three key solution areas which are Acquisition and Retention, Collaboration and Productivity, and Insight and Analysis. Among its 79 new clients are industry leaders such as AutoTrader.com, Balfour Beatty, Marsh & McLennan, Printpack, State of Illinois, and TenCate. Additional highlights from 2009 include the opening of a Northridge office in Raleigh, North Carolina to further support clients in the Carolinas and to expand the firm’s Microsoft partnership. The year also saw the strategic acquisition of BE Consulting, a leading business strategy and technology services firm, which added key personnel, clients, and solutions to the Northridge portfolio.

“At the conclusion of our 10th anniversary in business, amidst challenging market conditions, we are particularly proud of what we have accomplished in 2009,” commented Rob Patten, CEO and co-founder of Northridge. “The investments Northridge made across all areas of our business have positioned us very well for future growth. Our success can be attributed to our strong clients, our ongoing partnership with Microsoft, and the incredible team of employees at Northridge that love delivering valuable solutions.”
