Crain’s New York Business has released its annual ranking of the largest privately held companies in New York. Broadview Networks, a leading provider of hosted voice, data and cloud computing solutions, based in Rye Brook, has placed 56th in this year’s rankings. Crain’s list of the top privately held companies is published annually and is the most comprehensive report of its kind.

The report is based on 2011 revenues and was compiled using data obtained from the companies themselves, as well as independent sources, including Crain’s, Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet, Gale Group, Hoover’s and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“Broadview continues to rank high on this impressive list of companies because we deliver communications solutions with real value,” said Broadview’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael K. Robinson. “Services like OfficeSuite, our cloud-based phone solution, pay for themselves by boosting businesses’ productivity and customer satisfaction, and helping them avoid disasters, from the everyday ones to ones such as Hurricane Sandy. We continue to see good growth for cloud-based products since they are both easy to use, and don’t require companies to spend precious capital for new technology.”

The complete report was published in the November 19 issue of Crain’s New York Business. For more information, visit http://www.crainsnewyork.com.
