About Us

Our Story

Micor was founded in 1985 by Jim Minchella as a broadcast and production equipment re-seller. As digital signal processing spread to other industries, Micor followed it, eventually branching into appraisal and inventory work for the Media and Telecommunications industries. As computing became an increasingly important aspect of post production, we began to move into industries which relied heavily on those technologies. We brought with us our expertise and our insight as we adapted our offerings to meet our clients’ changing needs. Micor prides itself on not just providing our clients with a solution, but an outcome.

Micor Analytics provides industry and technology consulting for the Media, High-Tech Manufacturing, Telecommunications, and Computing industries. For over 25 years we’ve helped clients manage economic and technological change, manage their assets, and secure financing for growth. Micor has helped develop corporate controls and ensure financial reporting compliance to give established businesses a foundation on which to build for the future. We put our experience and talent to work for our customers to give them a holistic understanding of the dynamic technological and economic landscape and help them navigate through the changes.

We’ve worked with companies large and small, in over 11 countries in North America and Europe. We have worked with most major lenders and have built a reputation for delivering timely, actionable data that helps our customers solve their technological and financing challenges. We pride ourselves on providing clear, concise, and actionable information you can use to manage your business and plan for growth.
