VisionIT is going on a hiring spree in Detroit as it looks to fill 50 vacancies with IT professionals.
The New Center-based firm is also preparing for significant growth in its various sectors, such as vendor management. It hopes to parlay this into a healthy jump in revenue and even more hires down the road.
"We're constantly hiring staff for our internal support teams and our external teams," says Christine Rice, president of
VisionIT.
VisionIT was recently named the Top Minority-Owned Company for 2009 in the Inner City 100, an annual list of the fastest growing inner city businesses, by the
Initiative for a Competitive Inner City.
"It says we have proven processes and talented people," Rice says.
The company got its start a dozen years ago to fill a void of local technology firms. It ended up accommodating many of the IT and web needs of several of the city's local firms, such as Casa Hacienda Foods and Ball Park Franks. VisionIT helped build the city's web site and video streamed mayoral speeches before it became en vogue. It now employs 800 people with about 300 of them in Detroit.
