Plymouth Meeting, PA -- (SBWire) -- 09/12/2014 --Alura Business Solutions, a leader in IT solutions, is pleased to announce it has been ranked as one of the 2014 fastest-growing, privately-held businesses in the Philadelphia Region by the Philadelphia 100, the Wharton Small Business Development Center, the Entrepreneurs’ Forum of Greater Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Business Journal.

“We are proud to represent the hallmark of entrepreneurial achievement in the Philadelphia region,” said Alura President Jason Derstine. “This award validates our hard work to provide the best solutions for our customers.”

Derstine started Alura in 2005, with the main goal in mind to provide small to mid-sized businesses with high-quality, personalized IT services. Doubling in size within its first year in operation, the company was bound to achieve greatness and be awarded as one of the fastest-growing, privately-held businesses in Philadelphia.

Exceptional customer service has been one of the many factors attributed to the company’s growth. “While we are an outside vendor to our clients, we try to be an extension of our customers with a more personal feeling,” added Derstine. “Our employees are very personable with our customers, almost like their own employees. We have gotten a lot of feedback from our customers saying they like that approach and that is what has kept our retention rate at almost 100%.”

The Philadelphia 100 is a collaborative project run by the Wharton Small Business Development Center, the Entrepreneurs’ Forum of Greater Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Business Journal to identify and honor the 100 fastest-growing, privately held entrepreneurial companies in the greater Philadelphia region. The region encompasses Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties in Pennsylvania, as well as Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer Counties in New Jersey, and New Castle County in Delaware.
