ROSEMONT, Illinois – Automated Business Designs, Inc. (ABD), developer of Ultra-Staff staffing software, was named the winner of a Bronze Level Stevie® Award for Company of the Year in Computer Software during the 15th annual American Business Awards. The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. An award ceremony is scheduled for June 20, 2017 in New York, NY, and Amanda Wokurka, Marketing Coordinator, will be accepting the award on behalf of ABD.
The application for the Company of the Year category required extensive detailing of ABD’s chief achievements from the last calendar year. With a focus on Overall Innovation, highlighted accomplishments included integrations with Asurint for background screening and a 2-way integration with IBM Kenexa Prove It for candidate assessments. Other achievements include integrations for artificial intelligence, WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit), and many significant enhancements to ABD’s flagship product, Ultra-Staff staffing software. Also within the last year, ABD held its semi-annual Client Meeting, and received recognition as an innovative, highly successful influence within the staffing and recruiting industry.

This company is extremely deserving of the Company of the Year honor.”
