IST MANAGEMENT SERVICES MAKES FIRST-EVER LIST OF THE
Inc. 5,000 FASTEST-GROWING PRIVATE COMPANIES
IN THE UNITED STATES
August 23, 2007
Atlanta, Georgia – Inc. today ranked IST Management Services No. 3174 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the
fastest-growing private companies in the country. IST sustained a three-year sales growth record of 99.7%. The Inc.
5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the
pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent
the backbone of the U.S. economy.
“We are very excited to be included on the Inc. 5000 List, said Hal Blackman, president and chief executive officer for
IST. IST’s phenomenal growth over the last three years is a direct testimony to our proprietary, web-based software
and the dedicated associates who work for IST.”
IST is a national facilities management company providing on-site mail, copy, and technology services for law firms
and other organizations throughout the U.S. Founded in 1997, the company has operations in 17 states, 30 cities and
approximately 500 employees. Annual revenues for 2007 will exceed $20 million. Its web-based, proprietary software,

awards including the Human Resources Professional Excellence Award by the Society for Human Resource

The list features a profile for each company, almost all of them written as a result of Inc. interviews with management.
In addition, the list is searchable according to numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region, and year
founded.
Methodology
The 2007 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.based and privately held, independent – not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies – as of December 31, 2006,
and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006.
