ENGLAND, UK: Advanced Computer Software Group plc (Advanced), a leading provider of healthcare and business management software and services has achieved its most successful year to date. Advanced has grown from zero to £450m market capitalisation in just five years and today has 2,000 employees and more than 20,000 customers.

In December, Advanced was named in the London Stock Exchange Group's ‘1,000 companies to inspire Britain' report, which celebrates some of the UK's most exciting and dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises.

Also in December, Advanced CEO, Vin Murria won Tech Personality of the Year in the UK Tech Awards 2013 and featured in an article published by The Times as one of five women who are leading the way in technology. The remaining four being Marissa Mayer, Yahoo!; Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook; Meg Whitman, Hewlett Packard; and Gini Rometty, IBM.

Murria says: "This has been a transformational year for Advanced. Merger and acquisition activity has been intense including the major acquisition Computer Software Holdings in March 2013. The integration of this business is almost complete and we now have an even stronger platform to develop and grow the whole Group, both organically and by acquisitions.

"The use of technology as an enabler of efficiency gains remains key across all sectors and we see further growth opportunities in 2014 for all our products and services but particularly in healthcare."
