Tenant Showcase: Metis Consulting Group

October 14, 2025

Building technology with purpose.

Metis Consulting Group designs and builds software that actually works — for people, for business, and for the future. They take on complex systems, legacy integrations, and data challenges that others avoid, transforming them into modern, efficient, and secure platforms that make technology serve real goals instead of getting in the way.

As a Certified B Corp, New York State Public Benefit Corporation, and Woman- and Disability-Owned business, Metis holds itself accountable to doing work that is both ethical and effective.


💬 Q&A with the Metis Team

What inspired you to start this company?
“When we started Metis nearly thirty years ago, ‘digital transformation’ wasn’t yet a buzzphrase, but the challenge was already clear: leverage technology purposefully in service of real-world goals. We’ve always believed you can build serious technology and still lead with purpose, fairness, and humanity. Being part of INSPYRE feels like a natural progression on that journey.”

Why did you choose INSPYRE as your headquarters?
“We’ve been remote-first for years, which gives us flexibility and reach, but creative work still thrives on human connection. INSPYRE was designed for that — a space built around collaboration, innovation, and purpose — keeping us rooted in Syracuse while connecting us with others who believe business should create value beyond profit.”

What do you love most about being in the new INSPYRE building?
“The kinetic, generative energy that happens when smart, curious people share space and ideas. Remote work is efficient, but there’s a unique charge when people gather — momentum builds, ideas interact in unexpected ways, and something new takes shape that couldn’t exist in isolation. That’s the kind of energy we want to feed and amplify at INSPYRE.”

Local love:
“Darwin makes a fabulous sandwich. It’s the kind of place that matches the rhythm of the workday — quick refuel, big ideas.”

Three words that best describe your team:
Curious. Dedicated. Purposeful.

Theme song:
“Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine — “It’s about joy earned through persistence — that moment when hard work, timing, and community all come together.”

Fill in the blank:
“INSPYRE feels like a fresh notebook and a sharp pencil on the first day of school — full of possibility.
