Charlottesville, VA, August 25, 2014— For the second year in a row, SHINE Systems & Technologies (SHINE), an intelligence and technology firm based in Charlottesville, Virginia has been recognized as an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private company.

“We are thrilled to be included at 501 on the Inc. 5000 again this year, while also coming in 29th nationally for government services” states SHINE President Jeff Thomas. “Since 2013 when we ranked 307, SHINE Systems has continued to experience rapid growth with last year seeing our highest revenues since our founding in 2007 at over 13 Million.”
