E-Claim.Com, LLC Awarded 2008 Growth Company Of The Year Award

The Louisiana Technology Council and Greater New Orleans, Inc. announced the winners of the "2008 eWARDS," the annual awards that celebrate and recognize innovation and achievement for those who have made a positive impact in the technology field for our area in the past year.

E-Claim.com received the "Growth Company of the Year" based on the company’s performance achievements in 2008. E-Claim has an outstanding record of year-over-year growth in terms of its revenues and client base, as well as its products and services.

"2008 has been a good year for E-Claim, as we increased our client subscriber base nearly 3-fold during the first three quarters", said Thomas Brown, President and founder. "Due to an active tropical season in 2008, our clients processed over 72,000 catastrophe claims resulting from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Our clients utilized several new services that we launched during the previous 24 months, resulting in significant increases in production for our clients. Based on the success of these services, we anticipate substantial growth leading into 2009, due to increased demand from both existing and new clients."
