IPexpert Ranks #1137 Among America’s 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies

    CHINA, Mich., Aug. 22 /EMWNews/ -- For the second consecutive year,

Inc. Magazine has ranked IPexpert on its list of the fastest-growing

private companies in the country. The list is the most comprehensive look

at the most important segment of the economy -- America's

independent-minded entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies

represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.



    "Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in

business journalism," said Inc. 5000 Project Manager, Jim Melloan. "The

Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies

across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business

models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive

growth."



    IPexpert is a global leader in providing self-study multimedia learning

tools and classroom training preparing computer networking engineers for

the highest-level career certification offered by Cisco Systems: the CCIE

(Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert). Although Cisco is the leading

provider of computer networking solutions worldwide, less than 20,000

engineers have been able to attain this prestigious certification. Those

that have joined this elite group are highly sought after by the world's

top companies and government agencies, commanding six-figure salaries, job

security and respected status among peers.



    Wayne Lawson, IPexpert President, founded the company in 2001 after

becoming a CCIE himself. "Growing from a part-time hobby to a multimillion

dollar business has been an incredible journey," he said. Vice President

Matt Brooks credits the success of IPexpert to "making the right

investments, building a great team and staying focused on the customer."



    The Inc. 5000 is ranked according to each company's percentage of

revenue growth from 2004 through 2007. To qualify, companies must be

U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent -- not subsidiaries

or divisions of other companies. Complete results of the Inc. 5000,

including company profiles and a list of the fastest-growing companies that

can be sorted by industry and region can be found at
