Digerati provides software solutions for individuals, companies and organizations by integrating the latest technologies to optimize their resources and create a more efficient work flow.
Brian Balasia and Joseph Klecha co-founded the company in 2001 after successfully designing a process solution for a large Michigan based automotive OEM working pro bono. Their design potentially saved their client $ 1 million a month.[1]
MORE Program
Digerati worked with the University and created the Matching Opportunities for Entrepreneurs (MORE) Program, a nonprofit dedicated to helping entrepreneurs. It began as a simple idea to help engineering students at the University of Michigan to develop ideas into possible new businesses by providing support services. MORE is funded by the Department of labor.[2]
InsYght
Digerati and The MORE Program developed InsYght, a web-based software application funded by the New Economy Initiative, designed to instantly match business owners to the specific resources they need. InsYght has the ability to analyze the specific circumstances of an individual or business, determine the immediate needs of an entity and prescribe the processes required to meet their needs.[3]
