Gaithersburg, Md. – The Gazette of Politics and Business released its list of the 53 top businesses and organizations in the State of Maryland. The program, produced by The Gazette P&B, acknowledges the top 53 businesses and organizations in Maryland based on criteria that includes company annual revenue and employee growth as well as noteworthy product or service innovations, community service efforts, how they have steered their way through the economic downturn, and how they portrayed themselves as good places to work.

Detrick’s Operation Happy Holiday.

CNS’s innovative efforts to support its clients through its MSP-accredited PROSuite™ support centre and ability to craft custom solutions through its Anvil Dataworks application development group were also recognized.

“I applaud these exceptional Maryland businesses that are consistently on the leading edge of innovation and doing their part to help through their pro-active community service programs,” said Cliff Chiet, publisher of The Gazette P&B. “To make the 53 list is a great accomplishment!” Corporate Network Services will be profiled in a special section of the September 25 edition of The Gazette of Politics and Business.
