CHARLOTTE, N.C. – May 14, 2010 – Agility Recovery Solutions, North America’s leading business continuity and disaster recovery company, has been announced as a finalist for The American Business AwardsSM’ Stevie Award® for Best Overall Company of the Year. The American Business AwardsSM are the nation’s premier business awards program and recognizes the achievements and positive contributions of organizations worldwide.

Agility Recovery Solutions will be competing in the Best Overall Company of the Year category.
“Agility not only recovers businesses, but their employees and the communities where they live and work. We are honored to be recognized by The American Business Awards for these efforts,” said Agility CEO Bob Boyd. “Our business model is built upon the belief that every business, regardless of size or industry, should have access to a disaster recovery solution to remain operational following a disaster.
