Expetec Technology Services' Troy office has experienced some double-digit growth in both its revenue and staff over the last year.
The IT company has nearly doubled its staff with three new hires in the last 12 months. Those new jobs were in the IT and technical fields. It is now looking to add two sales professionals to its staff of eight employees and one intern to keep up with its revenue growth. The firm experienced 20-percent growth last year and is on track for another double-digit gain in 2013.
"A lot of it has been organic, word-of-mouth advertising, taking care of clients growth," says Michael St. John, vice president of marketing & sales for
Expetec Technology Services. "Our clients have also grown so we were able to grow and hire."
St. John explains it takes a "holistic approach" to handling its clients' IT needs. For instance, it tries to stop IT breakdowns before they happen instead of just responding to them. The firm also works with its customers to keep its technology as up to date as feasible. That approach has allowed it to ride the wave of improved business from automotive suppliers and other industries in recent months.
"We're looking at 40-percent growth this year as well," St. John says.
