INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--enVista, a leading enterprise and supply chain consulting services firm, announced today that it has attained 49 percent year over year growth in 2011. The company’s considerable growth follows 35 percent growth in 2010. enVista was recognized as one of the fastest-growing, privately held companies by Inc. Magazine in 2011. enVista’s success is attributed to its end-to-end enterprise and supply chain solutions and consulting services. enVista simultaneously grew its associate base by 15 percent. Currently employing 175 associates, the firm plans to add 40 resources in 2012. enVista is recognized as one of the top places to be employed due to a culture that encourages entrepreneurialism and transparency.
enVista President and CEO Jim Barnes says, “Our entire organization understands and embraces our client-driven approach, as well as our corporate vision and business objectives. Having a defined vision combined with, standardized, supporting business processes creates financial results and, simply put, this is the reason for our growth and success.”
Barnes continues, “We feel extremely confident in enVista’s future growth trajectory. We continue to develop solutions that are complementary to our current service and solution offerings and allow for differentiation in the marketplace. Yet, as a consulting organization, our strength lies foremost in our people. Our consultants not only consult, they also uniquely implement and operate the solutions they evaluate and recommend for clients. As a result, our supply chain talent is the most experienced and proficient in the industry, across both boutique and larger consulting firms, like Accenture and IBM.”
According to Barnes, “Major and mid-market retailers and distributors such as Tory Burch, Hibbett Sports, Dillard’s and Onekingslane.com are deriving significant value from partnering with a consulting and solution provider that consults, implements and operates. Rather than push a certain solution on a client that may or may not be what they need, enVista evaluates each client’s business requirements and draw from several partners’ multiple platforms and enabling software to develop a unique, customized solution for our clients. We are very proud and passionate about this approach, which delivers the greatest value and lowest cost of ownership for our clients.”
