2013 turned out to be a banner year for Stout Systems as the technology consulting and staffing firm hit records for revenue and expanded its staff numbers.
"Last year was our best year ever in terms of revenue," says John W. Stout, CEO of
Stout Systems. "That includes our best quarter ever."
Stout Systems specializes in providing consulting services in the software and IT sectors, along with staffing services for those places. The 21-year-old company helped fill 48 positions in other firms over the last year. Stout expects to repeat that stat again in 2014.
"We'd like to stay consistent at that 40-50 level of workers each year," Stout says. "That is a good level for us."
That spike in business has allowed the company to has hired two people to its core team, specifically two senior business analysts. It expects to continue adding to that core team to keep up with its revenue increases.
"We have had a lot of good referral business," Stout says.
