Core3 IT is merging with Enlighten Technologies and forming a new company called Detroit IT.
Troy-based Core3 IT has specialized in providing hands-on work, such as a help desk. Enlighten Technologies, which was based in Birmingham, has carved out a niche for itself for IT consulting work. The two firms merged because their products complemented each other and enabled them to offer a more comprehensive package to their customers under the Detroit IT brand.
"Both teams bring a lot to the table," says Paul Chambers, CEO of
Detroit IT.
Core3 Solutions also offered digital marketing and web development services. It is spinning out that side of the company into its own entity called Element5 Digital, which will employ nine people after the split.
Detroit IT will have a staff of eight people, including three from Enlighten. Chambers plans to continue expanding the range of services and products the new company can offer.
"We're going to continue to grow our team and enhance our offerings," Chambers says. "It will really be unmatched not only in the Detroit area but in the Midwest."
