Architecture and Engineering Software Company, Axium, Reaches 2011 Inc. 5000 List
Portland, Oregon – September 12th, 2011 —Axium, a leading
developer of accounting and project management software for architects and
engineers, has made the 2011 Inc. 5000 list, placing as the #3700 fastest
growing company in the country and 37th regionally.
Axium reported a 42% growth rate in the last three years at a time when the
architecture, engineering and construction industries have been badly hit by a
slowing economy.
“For Axium to maintain a strong growth rate in this economic climate is a real
testament to the solid foundation that our employees have built,” said Alan
Mills, CEO. “We continue to focus on putting the interests of the AE industry we
serve first. Architecture and engineering firms aren’t just seeing the benefit
of our products but also in aligning with a financially stable company that is
responsive to their needs, with a continued long term commitment to their
industry.”
Axium credits the size of the firm and its commitment to specific business
fundamentals to much of its success.
“We’ve been unwilling to compromise certain business fundamentals. Our US based
support department answers 80% of calls in 30 seconds or less. From day one, our
clients get to work with highly skilled team members that understand their
industry,” said Mills. “Our growth combined with our size allows us to stay
nimble. We’ll switch directions quickly if we see an opportunity to enhance our
clients’ businesses and grow the company.”
Despite many sectors of the construction industry continuing to lag, the
market has stabilized and created an environment where Axium feels they are well
positioned.
“The opportunity for Axium has never been as big as it is right now,” said Mills.
“We continue to hire for key positions to support our growing client base and
keep our foot on the gas. We’ve set and met aggressive revenue targets in this
economy and we see no reason that can’t continue.”
Architecture & Engineering Software Company Axium Reaches The Business Journal’s 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies for Fourth Straight Year
Beaverton, Oregon – June 30th, 2011 — For the fourth consecutive year, Axium, a leading developer of accounting and project management software for architects and engineers, has placed on The Portland Business Journal’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies.
“Making the Top 100 this year is extra special,” said Dan Laun, Director of Sales & Services. “Our revenue in 2008 and 2009 were factored in the calculations, which were two of the hardest years the architecture and engineering industries have faced. And of the 100 companies, only 10 of them have been on the list for at least five years, so we're creeping into elite company.”
The growth rate of the Top 100 companies measures the revenue growth from 2008 to 2010. To be eligible, companies must have shown revenue growth over the past three years. Axium has recorded annual revenue of just under 10 million dollars.
“In previous years, some of our growth has been fueled by a number of firms in our industry upgrading legacy software,” said Laun. “In 2010 and into this year, we’re seeing more growth as a result of AE firms abandoning current products in our market space, which we believe is a strong sign that Axium is positioned to continue the incredible rate of growth we seen these last four years.”
Included on the list of the Top 100 companies was Ash Creek Associates, Inc., who has been an Axium client since 2006, and has made the list of fastest growing companies for three consecutive years.

Beaverton, Oregon –March 8th, 2011 —Portland, Oregon –May 4th, 2010 — Axium, a leading developer of accounting and project management software for architecture and engineering firms, has won the 2011 Q1 Paperworks Contest. The national first place title in the Neenah Paperwork’s Quarterly Contest was awarded to Axium for its new corporate identity system, which included Axium’s new business cards, letterhead and envelope design.
“This award represents the marketing team’s commitment to delivering the highest quality work,” said Julie Ginn, Marketing Manager. “We’re very proud of the new brand that we launched at the end of 2010, and we believe it is a reflection of Axium’s commitment to quality and excellence.”
The Paperworks Contest recognizes companies from North America and around the world who showcase creative combinations of design and printing techniques. This national quarterly competition recognizes the finest examples of writing, text and cover paper use by designers. Neenah receives about 350 submissions per year in the category that Axium won.
“When you look at some of the companies who have won Neenah awards in the past and see their work, it is a great honor to be chosen, and even more impressive that we came in first place,” said Ginn.

Axium has had sustained growth and as a result, we’ve been adding new employees in every department. Placing in the Top 100 presents a great opportunity to continue to attract and retain great talent.”
Trends from this year’s survey showed employees responded favorably to Axium’s new office space and have a high level of trust of management. Axium’s employees expressed excitement for the future and are eager to receive training to take on new leadership roles.
“We set out to create a new office environment that would prepare us to address the continued growth we’ve been experiencing,” said Mills. “We also wanted to give our employees a space that they could be proud of, would reflect our company culture and promoted collaboration across the company. The feedback is showing we’ve accomplished that.”
“The results also show that employees have a great amount of trust in the management team, which is critical to creating a thriving work environment,” said Mills. “In 2011, our plan is to continue focusing on employee development.”
