When we first embarked on our B Corp certification journey back in January of 2016, Ad Victoriam Solutions (AdVic) was less than two-years-old, employed eight employees and was still operating out of a combination of shared workspaces and our founder’s basement. Fast forward to February of 2022 and we’re now over 150 employees strong located in 18 states across six time zones, and we’ve re-certified as a B Corp in 2021 and continue to scale both fast and responsibly. 

Of all the things we did as we pursued our certification, one of the most valuable was to commit to publishing an annual Impact Report. This annual exercise holds us accountable to ourselves and the commitments we’ve made. It keeps us honest throughout the year and requires a laser focus on the non-monetary business metrics and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) we value. 

In this version of the Impact Report, covering the fiscal year 2021, we share our performance against the 2021 goals we set for ourselves 12 months ago, including our community impact in terms of money, time, and product. There is also an overview of how we did with regards to diversity, equity, and inclusion, both in terms of our own hiring and in supporting upstream solutions that are working towards long-term solutions for increased representation of both women and people of color in the tech industry. 

As a B Corp, we understand fully well that we, like all businesses, are on a journey to becoming better versions of ourselves every single day. But we also believe that reflecting on goals, commitments, and progress is a valuable exercise that affirms we are doing business the right way and positively impacting our team members, communities, and the environment. 

We hope you will take a few minutes to look through our 2021 Impact Report (click the image below) and will join us in celebrating our accomplishments, acknowledging where there is still work to be done, and committing to continuing the journey to being a company that uses business as a force for good. And if you have any questions about AdVic, B Corps, or the 2021 Impact Report, reach us here.

“As a Salesforce Platinum Partner and MuleSoft Partner who provides mission-critical consulting services, from strategy to implementation, Ad Victoriam is delighted to be recognized by Inc. for our growth,” said founder, Jeff Jones. “We’re honored to see our results validated by Inc. magazine’s annual award.”

This is the second recognition of Ad Victoriam’s business acumen in the span of three months, as we were recently named a Top Business Services Company by Clutch.

How AdVic Made the Inc. 5000

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows compelling growth when compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved a three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

The Inc. 5000 Methodology

The 2019 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2015 and 2018. To qualify, companies such as Ad Victoriam must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2015. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2018. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2015 is $100,000; the minimum for 2018 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.

Clutch selects award recipients based on a set of factors, including work portfolio and market presence. Above all, feedback from the clients is central to the evaluation. Clutch analysts speak directly to the clients to receive in-depth feedback. Here’s what two of those clients shared:

“Everything they’ve ever done for me came in under budget and within the original time estimates. They do a great job managing scope and cost,” praised one client. “Ad Victoriam Solutions was much more involved than larger agencies, and they were very attentive throughout the process.”

“Ad Victoriam is diligent in training us and making sure that everyone understands how to execute processes … By walking us through the process and documenting everything, they’ve made us more self-reliant,” shared another customer. “The revamped Salesforce CRM has worked reliably since and is now a critical instrument in sales. Well-structured project management and diligent documentation are key to their success.”

Ad Victoriam brings dedication and innovation to every challenge we tackle, making sure that our team of experts stays up-to-date on the latest tech trends while remaining dedicated to every client and their unique goals, story, and skillsets.

Being named a Platinum Partner by Salesforce recognizes that AdVic has a highly skilled staff and an exceptional operational structure, which has allowed us to scale.

To attain Platinum Partner status, Salesforce evaluates its partners based on a Partner Value Score, or PVS. The PVS is based on three criteria measured over a period of 12 to 18 months:

• Sales. The more sales a partner has, the more successful and experienced they are. Salesforce recognizes partners that have worked on a variety of accounts – including those from the non-profit sector – and understand the details of implementation.
• Expertise. The number of certifications held by the partner’s employees is how expertise is judged. These not only include Sales Cloud and Service Cloud certifications, but also Platform Developers, App Builders, and Pardot Consultants.
• Customer Satisfaction. Salesforce measures this area independently. They survey a partner’s past and current clients to determine who is providing the highest levels of support and service.

On being designated a Salesforce Platinum Partner, Ad Victoriam Solutions founder Jeff Jones remarked, “This announcement is really about two things, our incredibly capable team and our clients, both of whom are the catalyst for our continued growth. I am proud of our growth and look forward to partnering with more businesses as they look to implement and optimize their Salesforce platforms.”

I’ve been doing this very thing for a long time. For many years, I was a Newspaper guy. Before that, I was a Sailor, serving in the United States Navy in the 1980’s. More recently, I’ve been working as a Principle and C-Level Executive with a company I helped form; Ad Victoriam Solutions (AVS). I have to pause and say that I’m very proud of the organization, and what we’ve accomplished over the last few years! We have amazing people, who do amazing work for amazing customers. It gets my adrenaline going and drives me through the day! For more than 4 years, it has been my answer to, “What do you do?”

However, there has been another answer to that question, and it’s an answer that has suddenly grown louder and more demanding than the others. In addition to AVS, I also have been serving as a Chaplain in the Georgia Army National Guard for the past 9 years. I’ve been called for hurricane duty a couple of times. The units I’ve been assigned to have seen inclement weather duty during Atlanta’s infamous snow days. We’ve sent Soldiers to Central and South America, Eastern Europe, Asia, and to our own border. But, with few exceptions, I’ve been away from my family for no longer than 3 weeks at a time. That has changed.

Answering the Call

Recently, I was recalled to an extended period of Active Duty and am now serving alongside 2,000 other Soldiers from the National Guard. We are training for a Combat Deployment in a distant land. Instead of working through Custom Formulas on the Salesforce platform, I’m now learning family names and faces for my Soldiers.

Over the coming months, I plan to write a semi-regular blog article detailing some of the work our men and women do on a daily basis. This will be decidedly less technology-drive, even though I’ll likely include pieces of cool stuff when I can. I have to be away from my desk for about a year. I won’t always have access to the Internet, but I do want to paint a picture for friends and customers, giving insight to a world many of us simply never see outside Hollywood.  I invite you to join the journey with me…

Even as I write this, I look forward to returning home and joining in the next round of upgrades / sales / implementations / challenges as Brian Mize, CTO. Until then, though, I’m honored to be living life as CH(CPT) Mize, Chaplain, 1st Squadron, 108th Cavalry Regiment.

The brain of a premature baby is not fully developed, which can make feeding a challenge. Gilson Capilouto, Ph.D., a Speech and Language Pathologist and Co-Founder of nfant© Feeding Solution, worked with infants in the NICU assisting premature babies who struggled with eating. She observed that the clinical decisions regarding how to help an infant who was struggling with eating was subjective, and it took many trials over time to progress the infant on their pathway to thrive.

With the creation of nfant© Feeding Solution, the first FDA cleared IoT device for the NICU developed by NFANT Labs, clinical intervention for feeding no longer had to be subjective, but could be based on real time biofeedback and objective metrics. To aggregate the metrics, NFANT Labs partnered with Ad Victoriam Solutions who created the mobile app, web portal and data services to capture tens of thousands of data points in real time for each feeding session.

Launched approximately three years ago, the nfant© Feeding Solution is now available in the NICU’s of more than 15 hospitals and is helping clinicians transition premature infants to independent oral feeding. In recognition of the nfant© Feeding Solution success, NFANT Labs has been selected as a 2018 finalist for the South by Southwest Impact Pediatrics Award.

While NFANT Labs is hoping to win the prestigious Impact Pediatrics Award, they are also interested in networking with hospitals at the event so more clinicians can use the feeding solution to speed the assessment and clinical intervention process for infant feeding. Today, infants don’t leave the hospital until their hearing and vision are checked. NFANT Labs hopes that one day, all infants are screened for feeding trouble as well to ensure that infants are in an optimal position to thrive.
