Core3 Solutions expands staff by 25 percent

Core3 Solutions has three core beliefs: profits, growth and more growth. Well, that isn’t an official ethos but it sure seems like it as the company closes out its 11th year in a row of growth.

The Birmingham-based firm increased its revenue by 50 percent in 2008 and its staff by another 25 percent. It also managed to pass the $1 million milestone for revenue last year.

The IT and web-development firm is using the down economy to its advantage. Company officials says small- and medium-sized businesses are dumping their own IT departments and taking on Core3 Solutions fixed-cost package as a way of saving cash in a tough economy. Its Managed Services sector grew 135 percent in 2008.

Walk-in repair in its new electronics boutique in Birmingham's Triangle District is also helping bring in new revenue. The service has grown 88 percent since the boutique opened and is still growing.
