There is no other HR software available to the small and mid-sized market that is complex and robust yet as user-friendly as HROffice.Ascentis` increase in revenues of 309 percent from 1999 to 2003 resulted in a high ranking (number 20 on the list) in the Fast 50 for Washington State. The Deloitte Washington State Technology Fast 50 (or Rising Star) companies have shown the strength, vision and temerity to succeed despite a very challenging technology environment, said Larry Hile of Deloittes Seattle office.
