Business intelligence consulting firm WIT's revenue is up and the area from which it draws clients is expanding.
The Troy-based firm grew its revenue by 20 percent in 2014, mainly through work from new customers. That enabled it to hire seven people in IT consulting, expanding its staff to 32 employees. The company is currently looking to hire three more staff members.
"We have also expanded geographically," says Quaid Saifee, president of
WIT. "We have always been in Michigan, but we've also made inroads in northeast Ohio and Ontario."
WIT offers software and professional services focused on managing business intelligence systems. Those services range from data warehousing to dashboard development to predictive analytics.
The 19-year-old company has grown its clientele with traditional marketing, webinars, and by participating in seminars. Saifee plans to keep expanding the company's footprint throughout the Midwest over the next couple of years.
"We expect similar growth in 2015," Saifee says.
