I’ve started to advise a unique technology consulting company called Q Analysts, based in Santa Clara.
Q Analysts specializes in software quality assurance and testing, business intelligence, data warehousing and professional services. They got their start in 2003 and since 2004, the privately-held company has a five-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 104.4%. 2008 sales were $17.4 million. 2009 sales were up 56% in Q1.
The company serves Fortune® 500 and emerging growth companies. They’ve got several high-quality hooks, including a unique operating model that combines focused practice areas with its Follow-the-Sun Recruiting Model. And they’re a certified minority business enterprise — a designation that will open more doors as time goes on.
Ross Fernandes, who founded the firm, put it on a smart, vertical growth plan. They executed well in their core service areas of QA and testing and then expended smartly into other tech services like business intelligence and data warehousing.
And Staffing Industry Analysts just named them the fastest growing company in the industry. Here’s the press release that went out today.
