Troy-based blueRock Technologies has earned a couple of nice spikes over the last year.
The first comes from an additional five hires in technical and project management positions, expanding the company’s staff to 19 employees. It is also looking to hire another two technical staff right now.
The second is in its revenue. The IT company enjoyed a 30-percent bump over the last year. Most of those new sales have come from the hospitality industry. The 14-year-old firm has a number of clients that are nightclubs, restaurants, and hotels on the east coast.
"We have really increased our footprint in those areas," says Peter Marsack, vice president of consulting for
blueRock Technologies. "We have a lot of clients in this area as well."
The IT firm also provides consulting and cloud-based services for its clients. One of its aims is to help pair clients with the best technology for their business model. The strategy is paying off, and blueRock Technologies is optimistic about its near-future prospects.
"We're going to continue growing the business in the hospitality market," Marsack says. "We're definitely going to be bringing on more people."
