St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

Every year, Entrepreneur magazine thoroughly evaluates all aspects of franchise success and puts together a list to lead prospects through the difficult choice of choosing a franchise. In 2012, they ranked Stratus Building Solutions to be the #1 Commercial Cleaning Franchise, which propelled them into the prestigious category Best of the Best.

Landing at the head of the class and staying ahead of the competition is what Stratus strives for on behalf of their franchise owners. They utilize the top technologies and ensure thorough training and certification for all Stratus franchise owners. Focusing on the success of the people in the organization has helped prove their motto that success comes from the bottom up.

The Best of the Best is only applicable as long as we continue the success of our franchise owners, states Stratus CEO and Co-founder Dennis Jarrett. We know we have the top cleaning technologies and training programs. We know we have the best available business services and margin for growth. But it is how these are applied by each integral person in our Stratus system that measures our definition of success.

Stratus Building Solutions ranked at the top of their industry category, but they also pulled in #1 Fastest Growing, #2 Low Cost, #2 Top Home Based, #11 Globally and #12 Overall. The company has been franchising since 2006 and has a very deliberate and strategic plan that has proven to be triumphant thus far.

Pete Frese, Stratus Co-founder and President, states, Stratus being named Best of the Best is very exciting for us. More so than awards and rankings, we want prospective franchise owners to see the people of Stratus; its the people in the offices, other franchise owners and themselves that make our Stratus franchise system a success.

The official listing of Entrepreneurs Best of the Best will appear in the May issue and also marks the fifth consecutive month of Stratus coverage in the magazine.

Stratus Building Solutions franchise benefits include orientation and training; customer referrals; administrative and accounting support; pre-arranged credit lines; access to insurance and surety bonds, financing options, promotional support; and other turn-key advantages.

US Federal Contractor Registration: U.S. Air Force May Buy 18,000 Apple iPads for Flight Crews

St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

In what could be the largest purchase order of computer tablets by the government ever, the Air Mobility Command has announced they are proposing to buy over 18,000 Apple iPads for pilots and flight crews of the U.S. Air Force, according to Bloomberg. Unlike private airlines, who by now are all switching to tablets, Air Force crews are still lugging around 40 pounds of manuals and navigation charts. Although the government tends to drag its feet when it comes to adapting to new technologies, the US Government has had little hesitation in adopting Apple’s products and services, according to the Government Contracting Tips blog. In fact, over $ 25 million in contracts were awarded for Apple products throughout 2011.

During the last fiscal year, USASpending has recorded over $ 1.1 million in contracts awarded to Apple Inc. by various Federal Government agencies. During September alone, over 25 federal government contracts were signed with various government agencies for everything ranging from IPads to Macbooks to OSX Maintenance. Even a purchase for ITunes cards was made by the Small Business Administration during September.

Despite shrinking federal budgets, this data proves that IT contractors and technical services firms should expect to see even further growth in government contract awards throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. A report on the Federal Procurement Data System shows over 12% of government contracts were awarded for Professional, Scientific and Technical Services, second only to Electronics, Computer and Transportation Equipment Manufacturing. With the Obama Administrations push for agencies to adopt cloud computing, provide more transparency to tax payers and allow more federal employees to engage in telework, IT government contractors in particular should expect significant growth during 2012.

On December 8th, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, or FedRAMP, was launched in an effort to allow more federal agencies to adopt cloud services which meet federal security standards. This and other factors, such as increased telework by federal employees and greater utilization of the web to provide government transparency to tax payers, has helped the information technology industry remain strong even during an economic downturn. Despite uncertainty in future government spending and procurement, experts all agree that professional, scientific and technical services, especially information technology related services, will remain in high demand by federal agencies.

This past fiscal year we saw the highest number of contracts awarded to these firms, said Eric Knellinger, President of US Federal Contractor Registration. IT contractors, translators, engineers, lawyers, architects and researchers were awarded over $ 146 billion in federal contracts during 2011.

In order to be considered eligible for any federal government contracts, firms must complete the required registration. This includes obtaining a D&B number and completing CCR registration and ORCA filing. Additional registration forms may be required for individual agencies and contracting vehicles. Small businesses can get immediate contracting help by calling the Contractor Helpline toll free at (877) 252-2700 ext 1. A Placement Specialist can then help them find current contracting opportunities, purchasing trends for federal agencies and review their registration for errors that could impact their ability to win government contracts.

Posted over the last 30 days, there are over 1,064 opportunities listed for professional, scientific and technical services firms on the FedBizOpps website, which lists federal contracting opportunities valued at $ 25,000 or higher. Federal contracting opportunities are not limited to large businesses only; 212 of those listings are set aside solely for various small business concerns.

US Federal Contractor Registration is a third party registration firm that has helped thousands of businesses complete their CCR registration and bid on contracts. US Federal Contractor Registration pairs businesses with a dedicated case manager who helps them every step of the way from initial registration to bidding on contracts.

KPMG’s 2011 Revenues Increased At The Fastest Rate Among Big Four Firms, Notes Big4.com

Posted on by

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 20, 2012

Big4.com, the premier social networking forum for professionals and alumni of Accenture, Andersen, BearingPoint, Capgemini, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers PwC announced today the release of the 2011 Big Four Firms Financial Performance Analysis, providing a detailed financial and operating analysis of the performance of the four largest accounting firms in the world. The analysis shows the firms enjoyed outstanding revenue growth from 2010 to 2011 after a severe revenue decline in 2009, and stabilization in 2010, to solidify a rebound arising from the global economic slowdown. 2009 marked an abrupt reversal of five straight years of double-digit revenue growth.

KPMG

KPMG reported 2011 combined revenues for the fiscal year ending 30 September 2011 of US$ 22.710 billion versus US$ 20.630 billion for the prior 2010 fiscal year. This was a 6.2% increase in local currency terms and a 10.1% increase in US dollars terms. KPMG noted that FY11 revenues overall reflected strong performance across all geographies and functional businesses worldwide. KPMGs year end is a full 3 to 5 months behind other firms, so while its FY 2010 results reflected more months of economic recovery to offset its FY 2009 results which included more months of economic distress, this advantage seemed to have faded in FY 2011.

Ernst & Young took the third spot behind PwC and Deloitte at $ 22.880 billion, and KPMG maintained its position as the smallest of the Big Four firms at $ 22.710 billion, just $ 170 million behind, as the gap narrowed against E&Y. Again, interestingly KPMG had only 0.9% more growth in local currency terms than E&Y (6.2% for KPMG versus 5.3% for E&Y), however the foreign sources of where this growth was realized in terms of changes against the US dollar turned out to be favorable for KPMG in 2011. US currency growth for KPMG at 10.1% was 2.5% more than that for E&Y at 7.6%.

By service line, Audit FY 2011 revenues were $ 10.48 billion versus $ 9.91 billion in FY 2010, up 1.8% in local currency and also up 5.8% in US dollar terms. KPMG noted that audit revenues rebounded despite strong competition in the marketplace and a difficult business environment. Tax services revenues in 2011 were $ 4.69 billion versus $ 4.15 billion in 2010, a strong 8.5% increase in local currency terms and even stronger 13.0% increase in US dollar terms.

Advisory services revenues of $ 7.54 billion in 2011 were up versus $ 6.57 billion in 2010, by a large 11.2% in local currency terms and 14.8% in US dollars terms.

By geography, Americas Region had 2011 revenue of US$ 7.05 billion versus US$ 6.37 billion in 2010, up 9.3% in local currency terms and up 10.7% in US dollar terms. Bright spots included Brazil with 22% revenue growth, In Europe, Middle East and Africa, combined KPMG member firm 2011 revenues were $ 11.66 billion versus $ 10.83 billion in 2010, up 4.1% in local currency terms and 7.7% higher in US dollars terms. India was the fastest growing among the largest KPMG member firms in the EMA region at 25%.

In Asia Pacific, combined 2011 revenues of $ 4.00 billion increased 7.0% in local currency terms but grew a substantial 16.6% in US dollar terms against $ 3.43 billion in FY 2010.

Revenues in China were up 12.9% in local currency terms and Management Consulting grew 24% in local currency terms and 29% in US dollar terms to become a $ 2 billion business in just six years. KPMG also announced that its member firms expect to hire 75,000 campus graduates over the next three years, a 25% increase over historical targets.
