Sircon of Okemos Marks 10th Anniversary with 25 Percent Growth

Sircon is celebrating its 10-year anniversary as one of Michigan’s most prosperous high tech companies with at least a 25 percent increase in revenues and a 27 percent increase in employee growth.

The Okemos-based software development company recently hired 25 new employees, bumping its total payroll count to 117 employees. Sircon Vice President of Marketing and Sales, Scott Morrison, says by creating new business opportunities, Sircon has moved from working in a $75 million market to an $800 million market.

“We have looked at moving to different places,” Morrison says about the company’s decision to remain in Michigan. “The reason we haven’t is that the business climate is still favorable for a company of our size.”

This is evident by the fact that Sircon saw a 37 percent increase in revenue last year, projects a 30 percent increase in revenue this year, and a 25-30 percent revenue increase in 2008.

“One thing that we’ve found about this area is that the people are here because this is where they want to live,” Morrison says. “That really helps from an attrition standpoint.”
