ALBANY, N.Y. — The Center for Economic Growth’s Tech Awards selection committee has chosen Auto/Mate Dealership Systems as the recipient of the 2019 Economic Winner Award, the company announced.

The CEG’s Annual Tech Awards were designed to honor the most innovative and inspiring companies in New York’s Capital Region, as well as individuals whose pioneering and entrepreneurial successes better the community by strengthening its workforce and creating new jobs and opportunities. The Economic Winner award honors well-established companies that have exhibited substantial and sustained growth in sales, profitability, and employee count.

“The secret to our incredible rate of growth has been to build and nurture a workplace culture that our employees love, so that they are passionate about developing the best software and offering the best customer support to our clients,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate. “We also make sure to manage our growth so that we’re large enough to serve, but small enough to care.”

Auto/Mate will receive its award at CEG’s 23rd Annual Technology Awards ceremony on June 27 in Schenectady, N.Y.
