Blue Newt Software has its roots in 3-D graphics and high-level visual graphic consulting. Last year the 10-year-old tech firm began producing its own products and is now reaping those benefits.
The Ann Arbor-based company created simulation technology for training and engineering that gamifies the experience to enable more education retention. It has started with sales of its technology over the last year, helping it boost the company's revenue by 30 percent. The firm expects its technology to gain more traction in 2014.
"Next year, I can see us doubling," says Bob Kuehne, CEO of
Blue Newt Software. "We have another deal in the works that is helping us come out with new products."
Blue Newt Software has hired two people over the last year and now has a staff of four full-time employees, six independent contractors and an intern. The two most recent hires have been software engineers.
