ANN ARBOR – Lakeside Software has acquired an R&D facility in Ann Arbor to accelerate the company’s growth by making it easier to hire top technical talent from the Ann Arbor metropolitan area. Lakeside’s corporate headquarters will remain in Bloomfield Hills.
In March 2011 the company received a Michigan Economic Growth Authority tax credit to help encourage the expansion.
Founded in 1997, Lakeside Software has grown organically without outside investment. The company?s products collect data and aggregate it to deliver depth of information and insight into user experience. Lakeside has also established key partnerships with global systems integrators and technology companies that use its technology to implement desktop transformation and virtualization services. The company was recently designated Technology Company of the Year by Automation Alley, Michigan?s largest technology business association.
?We?re excited to be expanding in Michigan and in the Ann Arbor area. Michigan is technology‐friendly and offers a wealth of technology talent that we will employ to drive our continued growth.? Michael Schumacher, founder & CEO, Lakeside Software.
“Ann Arbor SPARK worked with Lakeside Software early on to support the company’s expansion efforts to our region, including working with MEDC and other officials to secure the incentives that emerging companies need to grow. The tech talent here will ensure that Lakeside Software will hit the ground running, quickly ramping up its operations and getting down to business. Long term, the depth of tech talent in Ann Arbor will be a strategic asset for Lakeside Software.” Paul Krutko, president and CEO, Ann Arbor SPARK.
