"We exceeded our expectations for growth in fiscal year 2016 by a significant amount with year-on-year revenue growth of 78%. Our team has successfully completed eight acquisitions since 2013, which has consolidated Ameri100's position as a leading system integrator in the SAP cloud and digital enterprise services industry. We believe our current financial position and focus on SAP cloud services, along with our hybrid U.S./offshore business model, will further advance Ameri100 in the industry. Ameri100 expects to continue to grow revenues through both organic growth as well as additional acquisitions, which makes us confident that we will achieve a $100 million annualized revenue run rate in the near future," said Giri Devanur, the Company's Chief Executive Officer.  "In addition, we have invested a significant amount to grow the business, which has suppressed margins in the short term.  We believe our U.S./offshore business model will yield Adjusted EBITDA margins of 10-15% once scale has been achieved."

In November 2016, Ameri100 was ranked 5th in New Jersey and 182nd in North America on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. This ranking was in recognition of Ameri100's outstanding growth track record.

• DC&M Partners, L.L.C. provides its clients with a wide range of information technology development, consultancy, and management services with an emphasis on the design, build, and rollout of SAP implementations and related products.
