The Amherst Chamber of Commerce announced their 2008 Business of the Year awards, with 360 Professional Services Group winning the Technology Business of the Year award.

360 PSG has shown significant growth in 2008, expanding its workforce from four developers to a team of 13 web programmers, designers and content professionals. It also has expanded its client base, not only in the Amherst and Western New York region but also with clients in Boston, Mass., Utah, Texas and Virginia.

Some of 360 PSG's recent website launches include the new online home of Dave's Christmas Store, called www.ChristmasCentral.com, which has become one of the web's largest Christmas retailers. Others include Hospice & Palliative Care of Buffalo, The Left Brain, and Artpark.

360 PSG is also very active in the Amherst and Buffalo community, as a primary sponsor of Brush-Up Buffalo and works with not-for-profit organizations throughout the area, including sponsoring Artpark, the Kevin Everett Golf Classic and the Ride for Roswell.

In the wider Buffalo business community, 360 PSG makes a wide footprint. President and Managing Partner Joel Colombo has taken on the role of president of BNI Western New York's Buffalo's First chapter, is heavily involved with the Amherst Chamber and sits on the board of the Advertising Club of Buffalo.

"We are deeply honored to be chosen for this award," Colombo said. "It's a great reward for our efforts in the Amherst business community and beyond."
