Last year mindSHIFT’s organic EBITDA grew 17 percent over 2009, highlighting the company’s operational excellence, its ability to bring revenue growth to the bottom line and its recognition among the top IT vendors in the country. Showcasing recurring revenue strength and customer loyalty, 73% of mindSHIFT’s revenue was from recurring contracts.
