More Good News! ControlUp Named to Inc 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies

I’m happy to share that ControlUp has again been named to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The Inc 5000 celebrates innovation and recognizes the people driving their industries forward. That’s exactly what we’re doing—working each day to revolutionize Digital Employee Experience (DEX) management and unburden IT teams worldwide.

In the trenches of IT, we’ve seen firsthand the challenges of managing complex digital workspaces. That’s why we’ve built a platform that shatters the barriers holding IT teams back, empowering them to focus on what really matters: delivering a seamless, optimized workspace that unleashes productivity across any desktop, any application, anywhere.

This milestone of being one of the fastest growing companies in EUC and DEX belongs to our entire ControlUp community—our dedicated employees, our trusted partners, and our customers who push us to innovate every day. You’ve all played a crucial role in our journey to reimagine DEX management.

To our fellow Inc. 5000 honorees, congratulations! And to everyone who’s been part of the ControlUp story so far—thank you.

And folks, we’re just getting started.
