WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Inc. revealed today that Teal ranks No. 2093 with a three-year revenue growth of 251% on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment-its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

"Receiving this recognition from Inc. is an incredible honor," said Don Sauer, CEO and Cofounder of Teal. "Our continued success on the Inc. 5000 list is a direct result of the dedication and expertise of our highly-trained staff. We couldn't achieve recognition like this without their commitment to excellence and the trust our clients place in us every day."

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year's top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year's Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.

"One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list," says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. "To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year's honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce."

"Navigating economic disruption has strengthened our resolve and sharpened our focus," said Sauer. "It's driven us to double down on our commitment to our clients. And our ability to uphold our exceptional technology standards and deliver on our obsessive service promise, even in tough times, is a testament to the resilience and dedication of our team."

Her wealth of expertise uniquely positions her to help lead Teal into the future. "Reid, Gar, and I have known Jill for several years through our peer group," said Don Sauer, Teal's Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder. "During that time, we have observed her leadership and competency in understanding MSP operations - with an emphasis on finance, accounting, and procurement. Her commitment to excellence is invaluable as we continue looking for new ways to enrich our client's lives through ultra-responsive service." Paulus shared excitement about taking on a leadership role at such a dynamic and established company. "My vision for my role is to meticulously fine-tune our processes, ensuring seamless integration across all teams," said Paulus.

"She's truly a team player and we expect everyone will enjoy working with her."

People the Driving Force During an MSP Evolution

Paulus shared her insights and the role she envisions for Teal in the industry and the changing landscape. "The evolution of the service provider landscape in recent years has been fascinating. As we've seen a significant shift towards remote work, the reliance on technology has never been greater," said Paulus. "In this context, ensuring that teams are working efficiently and without downtime is not just important. It's essential."

MSP Merge: Teal Delivers Elevated Service, Security to SMBs

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Aligned Technology Solutions and TechGen Consulting, two award-winning managed IT service providers, merged to form a new company called Teal. This merger is a strategic alliance, built upon complementary strengths, to deliver elevated IT and cybersecurity services to small- and medium-sized organizations - especially those with heightened cybersecurity or compliance requirements.

Elevated Service Delivery

The new brand, possessing managed IT support roots dating back to 2000, unlocks many opportunities for small organizations by delivering obsessive service. Teal focuses on building strong, partnership-level relationships with each client. This connection forms a foundation for trust, which facilitates business alignment and success. The team then adds Teal's signature value elements that clients frequently commend.

"Our legacy partners choose to stay with us year after year because we provide them with the things they value most in managed IT services - ultra-responsiveness, intentional excellence, specialized expertise, and a deep understanding of [their] business challenges," said Reid Johnston, Teal cofounder and Chief Information Officer. "By combining these, we can morph their challenges into exciting opportunities for enhancement. That's how we give them the obsessive service they deserve, and we are carrying these crucial elements forward into Teal."

Integrated Cybersecurity to Boost Client Competitiveness

Teal offers more than productivity boosting services and resolving day-to-day technology concerns. Its team of sophisticated cybersecurity professionals provides expert counsel, troubleshoots issues, and proactively establishes the necessary infrastructure and systems to manage complex compliance and security demands, which are vital to many small businesses.

Often, organizations find it challenging to hire or afford the cost of a team of certified cybersecurity and compliance professionals. Teal offers a solution by providing access to such experts. The company is competent in a variety of frameworks, including:

* CMMC

* HIPAA

* NIST

* DFARS

These proficiencies make it a viable option for small businesses with complex environments looking for a sophisticated managed service provider.

"Teal places great emphasis on cybersecurity," explained Gar Whaley, Teal cofounder and Chief Revenue Officer. "We incorporate security as an integral part of our processes rather than an afterthought like many MSPs do. The process starts by prioritizing the application of security measures to Teal first and foremost - because our security is connected to our client's security."

Whaley explained that the Teal team is always looking for new ways to showcase the organization's cyber resilience.

"We are proud to have earned the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ this year - which demonstrates our compliance with key industry regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and others reliant on the NIST Framework. In addition to this accomplishment, we continually demonstrate our commitment to robust cybersecurity through unbiased risk monitoring with SecurityScorecard. Empowering our client's success through security is at the forefront of everything we do."

Teal closes the cybersecurity gap for many of its clients - providing the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard critical assets. Their strategic guidance helps to enhance the organization's preparedness for future developments.

Integrating Teal's cybersecurity solution into a small organization's IT strategy can provide several benefits, including:

* Access to enterprise-level solutions

* Access to more partnership opportunities

* Enhanced customer trust and loyalty

* Resilience against cyber-attack disruptions

* Preserved financial stability

Continual Enhancement to Drive Client Success

The leadership team is now seizing the opportunity to optimize and streamline its service delivery. By consolidating resources, expertise, and the favorable aspects of its legacy organizations, Teal positions itself to meet its clients' needs better. Additionally, the team is analyzing feedback from current partners to enhance its service delivery and improve client outcomes.

"Successful business leaders understand the importance of actively listening to your customers and making service improvements based on their feedback," said Don Sauer, Teal cofounder and Chief Executive Officer. "We regularly incorporate client feedback from Help Desk experiences and biannual NPS surveys. This merger allows us to refine our services further by deeply assessing the processes, from initial client interaction to ongoing care, ensuring we meet or exceed client expectations."
