Novi's Marvel Technologies hires 35, plans to double headcount

Marvel Technologies is leveraging some large projects to continue its substantial growth.

The Novi-based IT firm has hired 35 people over the last year, expanding its staff to nearly 90 people and the occasional intern. It currently has 10 job openings right now, for everything from a sales associate to director of IT. The company, founded in 2006, expects its staff to pass the 200 mark within the next year.

"I want to double that this year," says Bala Rajaraman, president & CEO of Marvel Technologies. "If we keep hiring at this pace it shouldn't be hard."

Marvel Technologies has created two new SAP products. CompEz is a compensation-planning solution for use with SAP applications that provides add-on capabilities to the SAP ERP Human Capital Management application. FormsEz 1.0 provides SAP-certified integration with the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. It helps customers become more sustainable by reducing the need and use of paper and enables enterprises to develop, manage and process electronic forms dynamically with speed and accuracy.

Those products have helped the company hit 70-percent revenue growth in 2012. The staff and its technology has also been supporting some major local projects, including General Motors' implementation of IBM technology.

"The last couple of years we have had big, big growth," Rajaraman says.
