Blues partner with Detroit firm to create Michigan jobs, avoid outsourcing

An innovative solution to a common business dilemma is creating new jobs in Michigan rather than outsourcing them overseas. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is the first anchor client for Strategic Staffing Solutions’ new contract IT development center in downtown Detroit. The center will help the Blues realize savings while initially creating 53 jobs. The goal is to have 150 working at the Penobscot Building office by year’s end and more than 400 workers in four years.
