PercipEnz is 2010 Dane County Small Business Awards Recipient

June 18th, 2010

2010 Dance County Small Business Award (DCSBA)PercipEnz Technologies, Inc. was among ten companies recognized with the 2010 Dane County Small Business Awards (DCSBA) Friday morning at the 28th annual ceremony in Madison, Wisconsin. The DCSBA celebrates small businesses and the contributions they make to the region’s communities and economy. The award is given to the businesses, including all of the employees, not just the owners.

For nearly three decades, the DCSBA has been honoring small businesses at a breakfast celebration, attracting approximately 250 people, including city and county leaders. “Innovation in Tough Times” was the theme of this year’s event which was emceed by Jody Glynn Patrick, publisher of InBusiness Magazine. Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk gave opening comments and Robert Jordan, Founder and CTO of Idle Free Systems, Inc. gave the Keynote address.

Criteria for the award call for businesses with less than $15 million in annual revenue, are viable and successful, have been in business for at least three years, maintain a responsible and rewarding workplace environment, and give back to the Dane County community through volunteerism, contributions, or in-kind services.

“The awards have grown nicely in terms of the number of companies nominated, those returning questionnaires, and the number of attendees each year,” said Neil Lerner, director of the University of Wisconsin Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which is one of the key collaborators who put on the event. In a typical year, about 70 nominations are received.

When receiving the award on behalf of PercipEnz, Srini Kalluri, PercipEnz founder, president, and CEO compared the first ten years of building the company to a bus ride. “If the people on the bus are only interested in the destination, then they won’t stay on it when it changes direction. Along the way we have had to make adjustments and change course, but the people of PercipEnz are dedicated and they stuck with it. That is what makes us a terrific company with a phenomenal culture.”

Kalluri also credited PercipEnz’s culture with its 100 percent customer retention rate. “In the ten years that we have been in business, we have never lost an existing customer,” he said.

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Madison, PercipEnz develops enterprise-class clinical and translational research management software. The company’s flagship product, the OnCore® informatics system, is the United State’s most widely adopted clinical research platform among academic research organizations and cancer centers.

Sponsors of the Dane County Small Business Awards include: Centro Hispano, Chase, Madison Gas & Electric Co., InBusiness Magazine, Mid-West Family Broadcasting, University of Wisconsin Small Business Development Center, Urban League of Greater Madison and Wisconsin Business Development Finance Corporation.
