Lakeside Software fills out Ann Arbor office with new hires
Lakeside Software's new Ann Arbor office isn't bursting at the seams, but it's starting to get a bit snug. The Bloomfield Hills-based company opened its Ann Arbor office as a way to satisfy its need to hire software engineers. It now employs about 20 people in Ann Arbor, according to Dan Salinas, vice president of business development for Lakeside Software. That’s up from a dozen people a year ago. "That site is almost filled up," Salinas says. "We will be expanding our space there because we are running out of room." Lakeside Software produces IT management software for corporate operating systems. Its SysTrack software combines comprehensive system monitoring capabilities with sophisticated analysis for applications and users to create a total management solution. The Ann Arbor office specializes in product design and development of that software. The 13-year-old firm opened its software R&D office in Ann Arbor in 2011 after it received a $731,000 incentive from the state of Michigan. Lakeside Software agreed to hire 195 people in Ann Arbor over five years, starting in the fall of 2011, in exchange for the incentive.
