See something electronic in the right hospital and the chances are CareTech Solutions has something to do with it.

The Troy-based IT firm runs many of the computer systems in a large number of hospitals. And all of that business has allowed the firm to grow from 45 people to just under 1,000 in the last decade.

"We run the computer networks, the data networks and the websites," says Jim Giordano, president and CEO of CareTech Solutions. "Pretty much anything that has an electron running through it we are probably working on it."

CareTech Solutions has had to bring in a whole lot of people to handle the deluge of work. The firm added 250 people in the last two years, including 149 since January. It expects to add another 125 people this year.

"This is a fairly people intense business," Giordano says.

Those additions have come as the company's bottom line has grown, too. The firm's revenue has grown 15 percent in each of the last two years. It expects to repeat that type of growth next year, too.
