Mobile Comply grew up quite a bit in 2014, mostly by living up to its name.
"We have completely exploded in a great way," says Eliana Farnsworth, CEO of
Mobile Comply.
The downtown Pontiac-based company helps educate businesses and institutions (think higher education) on how best to leverage mobile technology. Last year it provided training and wrote the textbook for
CompTIA, a Chicago-based non-profit that developed the
A+ certification. That bit of work led to Mobile Comply creating the certification for mobile technology.
"We became the only company in the world that provided mobile certification," Farnsworth says.
That led to a 35-percent jump in revenue over the last year. The company has hired four people over the last year, expanding its staff to 20 employees and 100 independent contractors. It is also looking to hire another two people in the first quarter of next year. In 2015 Mobile Comply is looking to expand its mobile certification activities to the automotive market.
"We would like to expand to not only certifying individuals but also supporting the growth of connected vehicles," Farnsworth says.
