Youngsoft is a software firm but it has found itself in the addition business as of late. The Wixom-based company is adding new clients, new hires, and new revenue.
Youngsoft specializes in IT, software and consulting services, such as staffing, application development, and niche software practices. It services a number of different industries and has 400 employees in offices in North America and India.
"We have been in a hiring mode," says Amy Courter, senior vice president of sales & marketing for
Youngsoft.
Courter is one of those new hires. She has served in executive positions at
Valassis and most recently at
VisionIT as its CIO. The 20-year-old company has hired a dozen people over the last year. It currently employs 200 in the U.S., including 73 in Michigan.
Courter expects that sort of growth to continue in 2015. Youngsoft grew its revenue by 20 percent in 2014 and expects to hit that number again in 2015. It achieved that by adding a dozen new customers over the last year. Today eight of the company's 20 largest customers are newly acquired.
"We're always adding more customers," Courter says.
