Tampa, FL--December 16, 2010 Business Buddies Tampa recognized FedTechServices, LLC (FTS), a small network management solutions provider, as Small Business of the Year. FTS was chosen from 13 other nominees from the Tampa Bay Area.

Owner and President Jocelyn Noble accepted the award during the Holiday Ball held at the Mainsail Conference Center before more than 150 small business professionals. Noble was also nominated for the Young Professional of the Year award, for which she was a finalist.

During the Ball, Business Buddies recognized FTS's efforts, accomplishments and contributions in support of the warfighter and as a small business operating in the Tampa Bay Area.

"I am so honored and thrilled to receive this award on behalf of the company," Noble said Thursday night.

FTS specializes in tactical network management solutions to support the warfighter on multiple Government contracts. Some more notable customers include United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) and United States Forces - Afghanistan (USFOR-A).

The company adheres to a comprehensive one-stop shopping approach, providing customized solutions, seamlessly integrating multiple commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, which allows the warfighter to stay mission-focused.

Under the leadership of Noble, FTS has enjoyed escalated growth over the past two years. Despite the current downturn in the economy, FTS continues to seek and find new opportunities.

With all their success, FTS is also a caring and philanthropic organization donating to multiple charities, volunteering locally, and supporting our warfighters overseas.

"Many of our employees are retired military, so we know what it's like to be in a war zone," said Noble, "and we do what we can in our community."
