Atlanta Award-Winning VoIP and Network Services Provider

Emerald Data Networks, Inc., a leading provider of technology solutions to businesses throughout the Southeastern U.S., announced today that it has received the National Association for Business Resources' 2015 Elite Award for Communication and Shared Vision. The company was also recognized as one of "Atlanta's Best and Brightest Companies to Work For®" for the second straight year.

Being named one of Atlanta's Best and Brightest Companies to Work For? is an exceptional achievement, as the awards are highly competitive. Each year, The National Association for Business Resources sends questionnaires to all employees of competing companies. An independent research firm then evaluates all submissions based on key measures in various categories to determine the winners. The research firm compares the competing company's achievements to prior years, as well as to other companies in the Atlanta and national marketplaces. The winning companies also vie for 11 Elite awards, one granted for each category. This year, Emerald was recognized as the best-of-the-best in the category of Communication and Shared Vision.

"I think the company earned these awards because of the extraordinary people who work here," explained Darrell Rodgers, president of Emerald Data Networks. "Everyone on staff has embraced the company motto of 'Do What's Right for the Customer'. We make sure the customer's best interests and bottom line are at the heart of everything we do. We explain what we're doing and why, and we keep our technology certifications current so we're never learning on the customer's dime. I'm incredibly proud of the Emerald team and these awards confirm that the team is equally proud of the company."

According to Jennifer Kluge, president of the NABR, which presents the Best and Brightest program, "We are proud to provide a forum for these select companies to be recognized and honored. It takes dedication and a strong commitment to one's employees to be named an Elite Winner. This year's recipients keep innovative human resource initiatives at the forefront and make it a priority to consider their workforce as an essential aspect in their company success."
