| VIP Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary
SACRAMENTO, CA – February 28, 2006 – Visionary Integration Professionals, LLC (VIP) of Folsom, CA, today announced the celebration of 10 years in business.
VIP is a local success story since its founding in 1996 by CEO, Jonna Ward . Ward founded VIP by leveraging her technology expertise and defining a clear vision to provide superior service for her customers. VIP has evolved from a company with one employee to a national technology firm with average annual growth of 100%+ over the past 10 years, with 2006 also projected to be at 100%+ growth.
Recognized as the largest woman-owned technology and management consulting firm in Sacramento , VIP is a thriving business that offers comprehensive services and solutions to commercial and government clients that span four service lines: technology integration and operations, quality management, management consulting, and converged networks and telecommunications.
Looking back at a decade of experience, the key to VIP's success has been reinvention. Along the way, VIP has:
- Expanded its original offering from management consulting to also include software engineering, technology integration, and quality management;
- Transcended from a customer base that once was 100% comprised of government clients to now be a 50/50 blend between the commercial and public sectors; and
- Supplemented strong organic growth through strategic acquisitions that bring vertical pillars of technology expertise, client diversification, and expanded national presence.
Today, with seven offices and 250 full-time employees nationwide, VIP is “out-localizing” the Big Guys and "out-nationalizing" smaller firms, while remaining committed and tied to local roots.
To celebrate, VIP hosted an event at the Pyramid Alehouse in downtown Sacramento with a 300-person gathering of clients, partners, peers, friends, and local staff. The event featured a surprise presentation of client testimonials from some of VIP's first clients celebrating Ward's and VIP's success; and a chronological slide show that featured staff and key milestones along VIP's journey. A similar event will be taking place in Georgetown (Washington DC vicinity) to celebrate with east coast clients, partners, friends, and staff.
“I am proud of VIP's accomplishments. Our success has come from the quality of people we hire, the quality and depth of our relationships, and the quality of service VIP is committed to deliver,” said Jonna Ward, CEO and Founder.
