Shelton, Conn., August 28, 2018 — The Connecticut Technology Council (CTC) and Marcum LLP today announce the 2018 Marcum Tech Top 40, the annual recognition of the fastest growing technology companies in Connecticut. This year’s group of top-ranked companies will be honored at the new ConnectiTECH Awards event at the Connecticut Convention Center on October 3. 3Gtms, a Tier 1 transportation management system (TMS) provider, will be honored with 39 other companies and two accelerator award-winners as the class of 2018.
The Marcum Tech Top 40 has honored over 400 Connecticut-based technology and tech-enabled companies since 2008. The awards recognize technology leaders in six industry sectors: Advanced Manufacturing; Energy and Environmental; Life Sciences; New Media, Internet, and Telecom; IT Services; and Software. 3Gtms has been named a Tech Top 40 in the software category. 3Gtms is a recipient of this award due to strong revenue growth of at least $3 million in annual revenue as well growth in each of the preceding four years.
2018’s honorees are a diverse set of businesses from around the state. Eleven companies are publicly traded, and eight have over than $1 billion in annual revenue. Two younger companies, Farmington’s Diameter Health and Stamford’s Link AKC will be honored at the Tech Top 40 as Accelerators, a classification reserved for companies that successfully scaled to $3 million in revenue in fewer than three years.
“We are proud to be recognized as a top company in our home state,” said Mitch Weseley, CEO of 3Gtms. “3Gtms has hit new company milestones this year: We were recently positioned as a Niche Player in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for TMS and we continue to be one of the fastest growing TMS companies in the industry.”

Brooder, CPA, Marcum’s office managing partner in Hartford, Connecticut. “This annual program over the past 11 years has allowed us a fascinating glimpse into the forward thinking that keeps Connecticut on the forefront of technology innovation and business leadership.
