DETROIT – Strategic Staffing Solutions, the Detroit-based global information technology and business services company, reported earnings of $220 million in 2011, a $15 million gain from 2010, marking the 21st consecutive years of annual revenue growth. Profit figures were not announced.

?Many companies have their ups and downs financially, but for S3, ever year is a break out year,? said Cynthia J. Pasky, S3 president and CEO. ?In 2011, we created opportunities for our customers, our team members and our community. We also positioned S3 with new Fortune 500 customers and new solutions that are already posting high sales value. We are well poised for continued success in 2012. ?

In 2011, S3 saw high increase in business with customers in the financial industry, which resulted in top revenues for its Charlotte and London branches. Additionally, the Detroit Development Center, which opened in 2010, posted growing sales through expanding its customer base nationally. This garnered a 149 percent increase in business for the DDC. S3 also expanded its global footprint last year with the opening of three branches locations, in Denver, CO, Hartford, CT and Cheshire, England.

?The S3 team is able to expand globally, and offer solutions such as the DDC, because our customers place high value on and trust in our relationships,? said Pasky. ?This is essential to our business, especially when working with large, global customers through economic challenges. Our customers know that their bottom line becomes S3?s bottom line and that we work every day to earn their business.?

In 2012, S3 also marked its 21st year of increased charitable giving. The company donated more than one million dollars to organizations globally. S3?s two annual fundraisers in Detroit, the Grand Prix Shakedown and the Detroit Charity Golf Outing, raised $44,211 for 2-1-1 On the Go!, a Detroit homeless outreach program. Additionally, each of the company?s 24 branches coordinated fundraisers, donated resources and volunteered hours to their local charities.

S3 received several prominent accolades last year including recognition as Best of Michigan Business by Corp! Magazine, a Top Business by Diversitybusiness.com and a 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For by the Michigan Business and Professional Association for the 11th year. The company was also ranked 31 in the nation?s Top 50 Fastest Growing Women-led Companies by Women Entrepreneur magazine, 21st in the Top 500 U.S. Women Owned Business by Diversitybusiness.com, and among the Largest Diversity Staffing Firms in the U.S. by Staffing Industry Report.
