Metric-X recently made the move from its former home in Ohio to Metro Detroit, and it's easy to deduce why if you listen to the tech company's leadership.
"It's a happening area," says Saad Shah, founder & president of
Metric-X. "The companies are coming back and getting stronger. They are investing in their IT technology."
The 13-year-old company specializes in providing software and mobile solutions to other businesses. It moved to Troy last year and just executed a move to downtown Rochester to accommodate the company's growth. It currently employs a dozen people and looks to continue to expand.
Helping drive Metric-X's growth is its expansion into creating its own software, launching an add-on for Microsoft Excel last year. "We think there is a lot of potential for it," Shah says.
