Irvine, CA – July 21, 2021 – Synoptek (the “Company”), a leader in the global IT consulting field, acquired Juxto’s direct real-time-communications (RTC) business.

Palm Coast, Florida, USA, June 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coastal Cloud has been named to Inc. Magazine’s annual list of Best Workplaces for the second consecutive year. The May/June 2021 issue of Inc. Magazine will hit newsstands May 18, prominently featuring American companies that have created exceptional workplaces and company culture during the past year.

“National recognition for employee satisfaction honors the culture we were founded on,” said Sara Hale, co-founder of Coastal Cloud. “The happiness of our workforce is not just a byproduct of certain company perks; it is the oil that greases our machine and it perpetuates continuous client satisfaction.”

Eligibility required that companies be independent (not a subsidiary or division of another company), based in the United States, have at least 10 employees, have been in business at least 2 years and have a total annual revenue less than $1 billion.

“The definition of a positive workplace has changed drastically over the past year,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Stocked fridges and nap pods were no longer perks many companies could rely on once work went remote.
