Blue Newt Software expands products and staff
Blue Newt Software is expanding its staff with more full-time employees thanks to a new addition to its business tool box. The Ann Arbor-based software company, which calls Kerrytown home, has hired three engineers over the last year. That brings its staff to six fulltime employees and six independent contractors. Blue Newt Software got its start in 3-D graphics and high-level visual graphic consulting. Recently is began producing its own software, including simulation technology for training and engineering that gamifies the experience. "We have a bunch of things our work has expanded into," says Bob Kuehne, CEO of Blue Newt Software. Part of that expansion is thanks to Kuehne’s acquisition of Renaissance Sciences last fall. The Arizona-based business specialized in producing simulation technology for the federal government. One of its largest customers is the U.S. Navy. Kuehne is using the acquisition as an opportunity to further the reach of Blue Newt Software's products. So while the two companies aren't merged together, they do leverage different synergies to help each other grow. "It has greatly expanded to bring more Blue Newt Software products to the market and expand our reach," Kuehne says.
