MCM Event Series 2010
MetroStar Systems is proud to announce our sponsorship of the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) Event Series in 2010. Since 2008, MetroStar has been supporting the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with Microsoft consulting services focused on the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 platform. Many of our employees have affiliations with the Marine Corps including a Purple Heart Marine, so we are thrilled to be involved with the MCM Event Series as a sponsor and as volunteers.
The Marine Corps Marathon Mission is “To promote physical fitness and generate community goodwill.” It was first hosted back in 1976 with just 1,175 runners. This year marks the 34th Annual MCM and will host 30,000 registered runners on Sunday, October 25. “Voted ‘Best Marathon for Families‘, the Marine Corps Marathon continues a combined tradition of dedication, sportsmanship and patriotism. The race is open to all who wish to participate, and does not have a prize purse for the winners. The athletes partake in this event for the pure pleasure of running in what has been called ‘The People’s Marathon.’”
Celebrating 10 Years of Success
Posted by: | CommentsOn Friday October 16, 2009, MetroStar Systems hosted a 10 Year Anniversary and Open House event celebrating 10 Years of Dedication and Innovation, and the move into our new world headquarters.
On behalf of MetroStar Systems, I would like to thank everyone for attending and celebrating with us. It was great to see our partners, customers, clients, coworkers, contractors, friends, and families at this special event. MetroStar Systems would not be who we are today without the help and support we have received from you!
Sincerely,
Jenni Hubacher

RESTON, Va., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ — MetroStar Systems (MetroStar), a leader in full-service IT and strategies for new media and social networks, has expanded to its new world headquarters to five acres of historical land, including the turn-of-the-century historic manor located at 1856 Old Reston Avenue, known as the Smith Bowman House, in the heart of Reston, Virginia. The transition takes place as the company marks its 10th anniversary.

“We reached a point where expansion was necessary to continue our consistent pace of growth,” said Ali Reza Manouchehri, CEO of MetroStar Systems. “‘Due to our on-going expansion and increased revenue and market share, we believe this landmark campus will suit our business needs and afford us the opportunity for continued growth in the region.”
The new headquarters on Old Reston Avenue has a rich history beginning as an area granted to English Noblemen late in the 17th century. It has Civil War links to General E. Lee and his army, and ties to American commerce that spiked throughout the area, known as Sunset Hills, in the 1920s that continues today.
“At MetroStar we believe that our projects have the ability to shape world history by connecting global audiences in ways never before imaginable by harnessing the power of emerging technologies,” said Robert J. Santos, President of MetroStar Systems. “This historic campus is the perfect setting for MetroStar employees — who are among the best in the nation in their respective fields — to embrace history while planning for the future.”
Over the last decade, MetroStar Systems has been at the forefront of the evolution of new media technology and social media and has grown by an average rate of 250 percent over the past three years. It was recently ranked by Inc. Magazine as No. 562 on its third annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. MetroStar was also ranked No. 70 in IT Services and No. 52 in the Washington/Arlington/Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV market.
“Reston straddles the Dulles Technology Corridor at the epicenter of technology and government,” said Jenni Hubacher, Marketing Manager of MetroStar Systems. “As the Obama administration furthers its commitment to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government through public-private partnerships, MetroStar’s new and social media programs are rapidly becoming a powerful incentive to effect this kind of change by engaging large amounts of people around the globe.”
In celebration of its new headquarters and anniversary, MetroStar will host a private function on Friday, October 16 for employees, clients, and members of the community. MetroStar continues its mission of serving the community and participating in the culture of giving that has helped build a strong, sustainable community in Reston, by partnering with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, on behalf of which donations are encouraged from all attending parties.
