ORBIT Systems, Inc. Wins U.S. Chamber of Commerce Award
EAGAN, MN, April 9, 2007—ORBIT Systems, Inc., provider of fully-managed computer environments for small and mid-size companies in the Twin Cities, is recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with a Blue Ribbon Small Business Award. The award was given in recognition of the company's dedication to excellence in several categories.
"Winners of the Small Business Blue Ribbon Award have served their employees, customers, and communities with a consistent dedication that exemplifies America's spirit of enterprise," 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 Small Business Blue Ribbon Award was designed to honor businesses that showed excellence 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 recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce," says Stephen McFarland, ORBIT's president. "Our mission is ‘to be the best Customer Service Organization in the world' and this award recognizes the determination, diligence and dedication of our employees in their pursuit of this mission. Technology can be a powerful tool for business, but it has to be delivered in the larger context of a business strategy." McFarland continues, "We will continue to change the face of our industry by providing solid technology solutions, delivered with an emphasis on Customer Service and an eye to our client's business needs."
Winners of the award from around the country will be honored at America's Small Business Summit 2007. The award is part of the Chamber's Small Business of the Year selection process. One Blue Ribbon Small Business was 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 enables us to recognize the hard work and tireless efforts of America's small businesses," said Donohue. "ORBIT Systems is a shining example of how a business can make a 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.
