CONNECT’s sales and recruiting team participated recently in a seminar hosted by Inmon Data Systems (IDS).
Bill Inmon, a long-time business associate and friend of CONNECT’s and a well-known published author in the world of Data Warehousing, hosted the event. IDS introduced new offerings to the large audience gathered. Pictured is CONNECT CEO Maureen Clarry and Bill Inmon of IDS.
. . . CONNECT: The Knowledge Network, an IT consultant [firm] based in Littleton, improved revenues by 149 percent last year . . .
Maureen Clarry, CEO and founder of CONNECT: The Knowledge Network Corp., has seen ups and downs in the tech sector during the 13 years she’s headed her own company, and perhaps that’s why she sounds more pleased than surprised that CONNECT more than doubled revenues in 2004, with sales of $10.7 million.
“Sometimes the technology sector is the fatest declining and the fastest growing,” Clarry says. “2000-2001 was the down period. I think now there’s been a pent-up demand to get a lot of work done that hadn’t been done when people where in kind of a conservative holding pattern. There’s just more demand for the kind of services that we offer.”
Tech-service providers like Clarry’s made dramatic moves upward in this year’s women’s ranking, and, overall, 27 newcomers made the top 100 but companies at the very top of the rankings didn’t budge . . .
