ORBIT is a Blue Ribbon Small Business

EAGAN, MN, March 17, 2008—ORBIT Systems, Inc., provider of fully-managed computer environments for small and mid-size companies in the Twin Cities, has been honored with a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Blue Ribbon Small Business Award. The award was given in recognition of the company’s dedication to excellence in several categories.

“Winners of the Blue Ribbon Small Business Award represent the country’s finest small business success stories,” said Tom Donohue, Chamber president and CEO. “Small businesses are the backbone of America’s economy, representing more than 99% of all employers, creating three-fourths of all new jobs, and accounting for more than one-half of the nation’s gross domestic product.”

The Blue Ribbon Small Business Award was designed to honor businesses that excel in a variety of selection criteria, including financial performance, business history, staff training, motivation, community involvement, customer service, and business planning.

“We’re honored to be a Blue Ribbon recipient,” says Stephen McFarland, ORBIT’s president. “We have received a lot of recognition over the years and won many awards, but the Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Chamber stands out because of the selection criteria. We are passionate about our business and to be recognized for excelling in these areas is a tribute to our people and the services they deliver to our clients every day. I’d like to thank them and the Chamber for this honor.”

Winners of the award from around the country will be honored at America’s Small Business Summit on April 16 – 18, 2008, in Washington, D.C. The award is part of the Chamber’s Small Business of the Year selection process. One Blue Ribbon Small Business will be selected from each of seven regions as a finalist for the U.S. Chamber Small Business of the Year Award.

“The Blue Ribbon Small Business Award allows us to honor the tireless efforts of America’s small businesses,” said Donohue. “ORBIT Systems proves that a business can make a significant difference in its community.”

The U.S. Chamber is the world’s largest business federation representing more than 3 million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region.
