Troy-based OpTech is starting to grow both at home in Metro Detroit and more so across the U.S.
The software firm has recently opened up a new office in Denver that will join its satellite offices in Washington, D.C., and Hawaii. That goes along with OpTech's overall growth. The 13-year-old firm has hired about 100 people over the last year, expanding its workforce to 200 people and the occasional intern.
"We just hired our marketing intern," says Scott Goodwin, COO of
OpTech. He adds that his firm is actively trying to keep more talent in Metro Detroit through hiring young people, such as the former intern who just graduated from Walsh College.
OpTech creates software that helps improve productivity that makes the back-end processes and other technical aspects more efficient. The company got its start providing these services to the automotive industry and now has clients in the financial sector and federal government. The new Denver office helps support new clients in the gas-and-oil industry and telecommunications sector.
"We continue to grow and be profitable in all of these areas," Goodwin says. He adds that "We're really trying to broaden our base of customers."
