Shadan Malik the potential in Flash programs years ago. It's why he started iDashboards.

"There are tremendous possibilities with the Macro Flash program. Some very cool stuff," says Malik, president and CEO of iDashboards. "But it's not being leveraged for business applications."

And so his Troy-based company stepped in, using Flash to create real-time interactive computer dashboards for businesses. The personalized dashboards analyze, track and organize a wealth of data into critical information tidbits for companies. It has been used for a variety of enterprises, including this summer's Olympics.

This innovative approach to Flash has made iDashboards very successful. Its revenue has grown nearly 100 percent each year since the company was founded four years ago.

And that growing revenue is leading to more jobs. The firm expects to hire another 5-6 people by the end of this year. It also expects to triple its employee base within the next two years to compliment the expected continuation of the 100 percent revenue growth years.

"With a little strike of good fortune or luck we could grow even more," Malik says.
