Herndon, VA - October 19, 2010 - Guident, a leading integrator of business intelligence, management consulting, and systems engineering services to the government and commercial marketplaces, today announced that it has been recognized for outstanding growth by multiple Washington, DC metropolitan area and national publications.  The awards are a direct result of Guident's success and expansion within the federal government market. 

"Guident maintains a strong presence in the government market that has helped us achieve consistent growth of roughly 25 percent year-over-year," said Dan Ackerman, Executive Vice President and Partner at Guident.  "We support over 20 different agencies with a variety of mission-critical programs.  Our success in this market is really a testament to our employees who not only know the technology, but work to understand our client's business and have a passion for the projects they support.  I want to thank them all for their dedication and focus on customer service."
