Growing Okemos Company Says Tech is Sweet Spot in Lansing

Okemos-based management consulting and systems integration firm A.J. Boggs, just added two new employees, expects to add several more by the end of the year and is aggressively pursuing the Grand Rapids market.

“There’s a challenge in getting good people everywhere, so not just Lansing,” says A.J. Boggs' CEO, Clarke Anderson. “We’ve been able to find good people in Lansing as well.”

AJ Boggs now has 12 Mid-Michigan-based employees. Anderson says he hopes to hire at least two more employees within the next couple of months and several more by the end of the year.

Anderson attributes his company’s growth to growth in the health care and defense industries. A.J. Boggs is also pursing the Grand Rapids market. The company has one Grand Rapids-based employee, but is also looking at adding another to that location.

“We’ve found the market on that side of the state to be very promising,” Anderson says.

The company refers to technology as a “sweet spot” in a struggling economy. This sweet spot has generated consistent business in the Mid-Michigan area for the company, but has also drawn them into Grand Rapids.
