MMAC Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) Recognizes MSI for Growing Rapidly in both Revenue and Employment Over Three Year Period.

MSI Data, a leading provider of mobile and cloud enterprise field workforce management apps, has been named a 2014 Future 50 award winner by the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) and its Council of Small Business Executives (COSBE) as one of Milwaukee’s fastest-growing companies.

The Future 50 program, now in its 27th year, recognizes privately-owned companies in the seven-county Milwaukee region that have been in business for at least three years and have shown significant revenue and employment growth.

“It is always encouraging to see such a strong group of applicants and winners in this program each year. These companies truly represent the future of our region,” said Mary Steinbrecher, executive director of COSBE.

The Future 50 companies will be honored at an awards luncheon on Thursday, September 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at The Hyatt Regency Milwaukee. The luncheon will be hosted by the MMAC, COSBE and BizTimes Media. To register to attend, visit https://www.mmac.org/events

“We look forward to honoring these fast-growing companies and learning more about the best practices that are driving their growth,” said Dan Meyer, publisher of BizTimes Milwaukee.

Driven by market demand for its field workforce automation apps, including service management and crossplatform mobile inspection and mobile field service apps, MSI Data has more than doubled its staff, from 20 to 50 employees in less than two years, and expanded its headquarters twice to accommodate hiring in software engineering, sales, marketing, customer support and professional services.

“We are honored to be among the companies selected for the 2014 Future 50 award,” says Harvey Shovers, MSI President. “This award is an important recognition for MSI, particularly for our employees whose talent and hard work are behind our standout growth, not only in Milwaukee, but in the field service software industry as well.”

MSI apps are used by organizations across a variety of industries employing a field workforce, including Cable, Industrial Equipment, Medical Equipment, Construction, Government, Manufacturing, HVAC, Field Services and more.
