Emergency Communications Network Presented With 2015 Riverside Summit Award
Ormond Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 23, 2015 -- Emergency Communications Network (ECN), North America’s largest and most trusted provider of mass notification solutions, was presented with a 2015 Riverside Summit Award in February during the 2015 Riverside Leadership Summit (RLS) in Houston. ECN was given special recognition for being the top performing mature investment in its fund family.
Among the statements made by the Co-CEOs of Riverside, ECN was recognized for its growth since the company was purchased in October 2011, both organically and via acquisition. This success was partially due to six add-on acquisitions in three years that strengthened ECN’s position in core markets, improved human capital and broadened geographical reach. ECN increased client retention rates by 6%, leading to recurring revenue of 99%. As a result, sales nearly doubled since 2011—an organic sales growth of more than 10% per year.
The RLS was attended by 350 guests including portfolio company CEOs, CFOs, lead sales personnel, outside directions and senior Riverside professionals.
