BOSTON, Aug. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Access , the largest privately-held records and information management (RIM) services provider in the world, today announced that it was selected to the Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. For the tenth consecutive year, Access was ranked on the list and earned the spot of Number 3124 on the 2018 list, representing 127% growth from 2014 to 2017. The Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small and mid-sized businesses.

According to the Inc. 5000 2018 list , Access is one of only two Massachusetts-based companies that has achieved this recognition for 10 years in a row.  Nationwide, only 38 other privately-held companies have been included on this list for a decade. 

“It is quite an honor to be selected for the Inc. 5000 List for ten years in a row, recognizing our continued growth and further validating that Access is one of the top privately-owned companies in the U.S.,” said Rob Alston, CEO. “In addition to the Inc. recognition, this year is shaping up to be a banner year as we’ve expanded our market coverage and breadth of RIM solutions and services.  In fact, we’ve already completed 10 acquisitions this year helping us create a coast-to-coast presence in Canada and strengthening key US markets as well.”
