Multi-Regional Miami, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City-Based Consultancy Excels for Second Consecutive Year

MIAMI--Within two years of first opening its doors, AXIS Integrated Solutions – which is built around a merger of previous businesses owned by CEO Manny Buigas and Partners Kelly Hummel and Tony Chiodo, and with major operations in Miami, Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City (www.axisintegratedsolutions.com) – has, for the second consecutive year, ranked at the very top of Sage Software’s (http://www.sagesoftware.com/) thousands of independent business partners. AXIS has just been named to Sage’s Chairman’s Club for 2007. This honor is limited to an equally exclusive group of Sage’s top-selling North American Business Partners. Late in 2006, AXIS was named to Sage’s prestigious President’s Circle – a group limited to the 70 top business partners and certified consultants from the full range of Sage Software partners.

Earning this dramatic pair of honors in a single year would be unusual for even a long-established industry-leading IT firm; but, Buigas’ AXIS Integrated Solutions, which has also just earned three of the IT industry’s most prestigious accolades: Accounting Today magazine’s “VAR Top 100,” as well as Accounting Technology magazine’s “Technology Pacesetters” and “Killer VAR” honors, is not quite two years old.

“Chairman’s Club members receive a variety of marketing benefits and attend an annual business retreat with Sage Software executives to discuss industry issues and business strategy,” AXIS CEO Manny Buigas explained. “We’re proud to have reached this remarkable achievement within our first two years in business.”

“Chairman’s Club members such as AXIS Integrated Solutions,” according to Sage Software President and CEO Ron Verni, “are among the most successful business partners in North America helping small and mid-sized businesses achieve great results with Sage Software solutions. Like Sage Software, they place the customer at the forefront of their business to build exceptional programs for success.”

When AXIS was named to the President’s Circle late last year, Taylor Macdonald, Sage Software executive vice president of channel and sales operations said, “Helping small and midsized businesses to be successful is what our business is all about, and our exceptional channel of business partners is a critical part of making it happen. President’s Circle winners are at the top of the industry.”

AXIS Integrated Solutions is a joint venture built around the merger of three regional business solution powerhouse IT consulting firms. “Our ongoing passion is to help our clients leverage the best possible technology solutions to grow their businesses and thrive,” AXIS’ CEO Manny Buigas said. “My partners – Kelly Hummel in St. Louis and Kansas City, and Tony Chiodo in Chicago – and I jointly created AXIS in mid-2005 in order to have exactly the right mix of IT talent, years of experience as a trusted business advisor to clients, state-of-the-art technology solutions, and clients who are as motivated to grow as we are. We are thrilled to be serving both our regional markets – and, in our areas of specialization, such as CRM, nationally – during these times of unprecedented economic growth, and very pleasantly surprised by the recent accolades.”
