A few weeks ago, as I sat over a heaping plate of Thanksgiving dinner, I realized how fortunate and how thankful I am. I’m thankful for my family, my friends, my health, my company, and my co-workers. After almost eight years at Logic, I still get up every morning excited to work. I absolutely love what we do. I love what we create, I love working with customers with cool ideas and unique needs, and I love working with such a great team.
At this time of year, we start to plan our goals and strategies for next year. Through this process, I tend to reflect on all of the things that happened both personally and professionally throughout the past 12 months. During this time of reflection, I realize that 2014 has been a tremendous year of growth and change for Logic.
This year Logic significantly expanded its eCommerce practice, adding top talent to the team. We secured a number of new eCommerce clients and became Magento certified. We are proud of our newest Magento certified Solution Specialist, Bill Xu. We also expanded our development centers, adding 12 new developers to the Taiwan office alone.
2014 seemed to be the year of the start-up. We worked with so many bright entrepreneurs with awesome ideas. I can’t tell you how much fun it is to help bring such creative ideas to life. In contrast, we also worked with many larger organizations building out development teams to create, enhance and maintain critical applications that that are instrumental to their growth.

In our Quantum Compliance environmental health and safety software business, we launched our SDS to GHS conversion service and added five new people to the team. We expanded our marketing and sales department and will more than double our revenue over 2013. We continue to build out our cloud-based EH&S solutions, and expect to double our revenue again next year.
In our Showcase mobile application division, we added several anchor accounts with hundreds of users and continue to build out the solution. Look for an upcoming press release on our web version soon.
Lastly, we added quite a few young professionals to our Ann Arbor office this year. The addition of this wave of talent has brought a high energy vibe to the office. I’m incredibly impressed with the work ethic, the level of talent, and the fresh ideas that have permeated our office. We knocked down walls in both our marketing and technical departments creating a more open collaborative space. As a result, I see smiles on the faces of our staff every day as they go above and beyond to deliver great work to and with our clients. And I know that this effort is bearing fruit as we’ve received numerous kudos, thank yous, and “atta boys/girls” from our customers in the past few months. When we receive this kind of feedback, I’m reminded once again why I love what we do.
I can’t wait to get started on 2015!
