Boca Raton, FL– December 1, 2011– 3Cinteractive®, the leading provider of cloud-based mobile software and services for the Fortune 1000, announced it has been named one of America’s Most Promising Companies by Forbes. 3Ci ranked 12th on the second annual list of U.S.-based, high-growth, privately held companies. To view the complete list, please visit www.forbes.com/ampc.

Forbes’ list of America’s Most Promising Companies features 100 privately held up-and-comers with compelling business models, strong management teams, notable customers, strategic partners and precious investment capital. 3Ci was the only provider of multi-channel enterprise mobility solutions and the highest-ranked Florida-based company to make the list of dynamic businesses.

“It is an honor to rank so high on Forbes’ list of America’s Most Promising Companies,” said John Duffy, 3Cinteractive’s Founder and CEO. “We are fortunate to have such an amazing team that works tirelessly serving our clients. Mobile is probably the fastest growing industry in the history of the world. And, we are just scratching the surface of its potential. We feel 3Ci is well positioned to take advantage of this growth and will continue to be the leader in delivering enterprise mobility solutions.”

To sharpen its search, Forbes teamed up with CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies. With $650,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, CB has developed complex software called Mosaic that mines myriad online sources (from press releases and social networks to job boards and court filings) to come up with one, algorithmically derived score that measures a private company’s health. Forbes married Mosaic’s data-crunching with old-fashioned reporting to assemble a list of rising stars with bright growth prospects.

SFN Group, Inc.

This is the first of several phases to enhance the candidate experience to gain quicker and more efficient access to jobs through mobile technologies.

“We are very excited to announce this next stage in our recruiting efforts,” said Roy Krause, president and CEO of SFN Group, Inc. “With millions of people carrying mobile devices, texting is becoming a much more efficient and preferred means of communicating for many passive and active job seekers. In an industry where time is of the essence, this form of communicating provides the means to reach a wider and highly targeted audience in a much shorter time span. With studies showing that mobile Internet use is set to outpace PC connection use — it is clear just how powerful this medium is and will continue to be as the technology evolves.”
