Bischer Technologies is one of those relatively new companies that hit the ground running from its onset and hasn't looked back since.
The Clinton Township-based IT business has doubled its revenue each year since its founding five years ago. That has allowed it to grow from three employees to a staff of 10 people today. It's also looking at adding an intern this summer.
Bischer Technologies provides network management and systems technology integration services in the IT sector. Its business has always come from customer referrals but the company is looking to take a more proactive approach in 2013, recently hiring a business development professional.
"I want to drive and bring on additional clients that are not referral-based," says Doug Verkeyn, director of business development for
Bischer Technologies.
Verkeyn expects this more aggressive growth strategy will let the firm expand faster than it has in its first few years. He also expects the firm's customer base to remain diverse. Bischer Technologies currently services a broad range of small-to-medium-sized businesses, from food manufacturers to tech firms.
