Aplicor Receives 2007 "Good to Great" Award
Boca Raton, Florida, June 1, 2007 – Aplicor, Inc., a global provider of on-demand CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) hosted business systems, today received the 2007 Good to Great Award. After being named a Finalist on May 1, 2007, Aplicor was today named the Winner at the prestigious Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. Aplicor joined a small number of elite Good to Great companies including Mayors, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines as winners of the 2007 Good to Great award in their respective categories.
The Good to Great award is presented annually and bestowed on companies that consistently exhibit all of the key qualities present in great companies as outlined in Jim Collin’s best-selling book Good to Great.
Mark Grimmel, Vice Chair of the Good to Great Evaluation Committee, said of Aplicor’s award, “The thing that most impressed us about Aplicor, above and beyond the other companies we looked at, was the strength and cohesiveness of the management team. The company is run by a management team that operates as a seamless group that executes with one vision and one set of goals and objectives focused on achieving that vision. They also exemplify the Good to Great principle of getting the right people on the bus before deciding where you want to take the bus.” Chuck Schaeffer, Aplicor’s CEO said, upon receiving the award, “I have a great deal of respect for Jim Collins and I believe that the Good to Great book articulates an organizational framework that truly delivers sustained competitive advantage. We work diligently to embody the principles outlined in Jim’s book and we continue our journey of making Aplicor a great company.”
In order to qualify and ultimately win the award, Aplicor, along with the other finalists and winners went through a comprehensive evaluation process, including an extensive interview process and review of the company’ financial history and growth over the past five years. Judging was based on each applicant’s ability to demonstrate a pattern of solid to great performance over a four-year period. Companies were also to demonstrate leadership within management ranks and have a solid workforce base.
The Good to Great Award is sponsored by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Grant Thornton, BankUnited, The Business Journal, Florida International University, Nova University and Florida Atlantic University.
