Aspect Takes the Gold at 5th Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Award Ceremony

Aspect, a unified communications and contact center software and services provider, today announced it has been selected as a Gold winner of the Massachusetts Alliance for Economic Development’s Fifth Annual Team Massachusetts Economic Impact Award. This is the only award of its kind in Massachusetts, honoring a select group of companies from across the Commonwealth who are recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Massachusetts economy. Aspect was recognized for the jobs created during the company’s recent move to its new corporate headquarters in Chelmsford, Mass.

“The judges did not arrive at their decision lightly; there are so many good stories from a variety of industries,” said Susan Houston, executive director of the Massachusetts Alliance for Economic Development.  “All the companies nominated enhance the Massachusetts economy, and we’re proud to be able to recognize them.”

Jim Foy, president and chief executive officer at Aspect, was on hand to receive the award. The award was presented to Aspect at a November 25th awards luncheon at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel with more than 450 attendees, including the governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick. The winning companies were selected based on their attributes in the categories of job growth, facility expansion, investment and community involvement since January 1, 2007.

“To stand out among such successful organizations in all of Massachusetts is gratifying for all of us at Aspect. It not only reflects the company’s hard work and dedication, but it also helps recognize the positive impact we’re having in the communities where we live and operate our business,” said Jim Foy, chief executive officer, Aspect. “It also demonstrates how important local industries are in supporting our efforts to provide unified communications software and services to the global market. Without the solid foundation of local businesses and suppliers, we wouldn’t be able to be successful.”

The Massachusetts Alliance for Economic Development is a private, non-profit partnership of business, industry leaders, and government dedicated to fostering economic growth in the Commonwealth.
