Access Technology Solutions Named to the Top Tier of the Utah 100 Fastest Growing Companies for the 4th Consecutive Year

    PROVO, UT, October 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- High-growth international consumer markets are creating new jobs in Utah and opportunities to thrive globally for innovative companies like Access Technology Solutions, which was once again named to MountainWest Capital Network's Utah 100. Access placed in the top tier among the 100 fastest growing companies in Utah for 2011 at #33. The Utah 100 list was released during the 17th annual Utah 100 Awards program on October 6th, which was headlined by a keynote speech from Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert.

"It's always an honor to be recognized as a leading member within this unique collection of innovators, entrepreneurs and visionary businesses," said Chris Boyle, President and CEO. "And like our esteemed colleagues, we remain very grounded in a simple reality. None of these accolades are possible without the effort and contributions of two special groups of people; the team here at Access and our clients, who together make all our international innovation and on-the-ground execution possible."

Access Technology Solutions - www.accessts.com - is a leading technology and logistics solution provider helping eTailers and Direct Selling firms expand operations into international markets. Access delivers innovative web based technologies including localized portals to manage in-country distribution, an international shopping cart and supporting cross-border technologies. Access' solution streamlines international order management and fulfillment and provides complete visibility throughout the supply chain. By working with long-established, in-country logistics specialists, Access is able to deliver products at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods.

After Governor Herbert's keynote, Boyle discussed several key factors that have contributed to Access' ability to consistently place high on the Utah 100. "Our business is fortunate to lie at the intersection of several mega-trends -- the push by the exploding global middle class to significantly improve its standard of living, the drive by global brands to embrace direct-to-consumer distribution models and the opportunity for innovative firms to cost-effectively access powerful technology solutions," commented Boyle.

"Our management team has stayed extremely focused on delivering a value proposition that taps into all these trends while our operating team has stayed committed to managing the day-to-day realities that transform this vision into operational success. The final piece of the puzzle is our extensive and fast-growing network of logistics partners in markets around the world. These folks quite literally deliver the goods day-in and day-out and around the clock. They're what really make us go."
