Information Manufacturing Corp. plans to hire about 40 people immediately. James Cava, chief financial officer, talked with The Post's Judith Mbuya.

Q What does your company do?

AWe are an information technology company, and we provide information technology services to the federal market. We offer a full range of data and information services, including conversion, storage, applications development and hosting and knowledge management for our clients. We help our clients identify valuable archives that they own. Once the archives have been identified (in formats such as paper, microfilm, microfiche, X-rays or digital formats like CD-ROMs and hard drive) we convert them into digital information. Then we host that information in a secure, controlled data center. Once it's hosted, we give our customers access to the repository and help them manage that data through software applications that have either been developed by us or purchased and hosted in our secure data center.

What do you think your employees would say are the best reasons for working at your company?

We're on the cutting edge of information technology. We have invested most of our profits back into our infrastructure, our facilities and our people. We're a very fast-growing, high-technology firm. We offer top-level pay for our positions, and we have a defined bonus program where employees can calculate their own bonuses through out the year.

Who owns your company?

Robert Hytner, chief executive, owns 82 percent. I own 18 percent.

What sense of stability can your company offer job candidates?

We are a very stable company. We've been profitable since our inception in 1998. Each year our revenue continues to grow, as well as our profits.
