Emergent Software

We are a full-stack technology solution provider that helps clients modernize business operations. We specialize in the Microsoft ecosystem, offering custom software development, cloud transformation, and data engineering solutions. Our services include website development and design, mobile and web application development, SQL Server DBA services, Azure cloud consulting, Power BI, SharePoint consulting, ongoing maintenance and support, and DevOps services. Through our sister company, Emergent Staffing, we also provide staffing services for tech roles.

Our expertise includes .NET Core, C# Development, SQL Server, Azure, M365 & Office, and Power BI. We hold Microsoft’s Advanced Specialization for Modernization of Web Applications and operate as a Microsoft Solutions Partner in Data & AI, Digital & App Innovation, and Infrastructure. We are also a Microsoft Cloud Solution Partner (CSP) and were previously a Microsoft Gold Partner.

Founded in 2015 by Jamie Anderson and Mark Bajema as a spinoff from Emergent Networks, our team has 20 years of technical expertise. We build custom software, craft websites, optimize SQL databases, and facilitate transitions to the Azure cloud. We serve clients across various industries in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, and throughout the US, aiming to be a long-term technology partner. Our project experience includes designing and scaling credit card processing platforms (using C#, .NET, Azure, PCI DSS), data mapping and migration for healthcare clients (using Azure Data Factory and SQL), and building Python-based platforms in FinTech.

We aim to become our clients’ long-term technology partner. We do this by delivering quality, tailored solutions aligned with business strategy and supporting those solutions with ²⁴⁄₇ support and managed services. We operate as an extension of client teams, focusing on long-term client satisfaction in every decision. Our approach includes agile development to facilitate early progress, frequent collaboration, and quicker time to market.

We prioritize client partnerships over new sales, focusing on solution delivery. We are solutions-focused rather than hours-focused, leveraging existing tools to minimize development needs. We provide complete project delivery from design to deployment to support, engaging a full team of designers, developers, and testers. We offer flexible scheduling, allowing clients to control their budget. We emphasize employee development, investing in team growth to ensure cutting-edge skills are applied to projects.

We are a fully remote company with 51-200 employees, providing flexibility in work location and scheduling. We focus on results rather than traditional 8-to-5 hours. We have been recognized on the Minneapolis-St Paul Business Journal’s list of Best Places to Work for our commitment to flexibility. While primarily remote, some roles may require hybrid onsite work arrangements in Minneapolis or travel for specific client engagements. We maintain sales and mailing offices in Minneapolis.

Our work environment supports continuous learning and technical leadership. Employees are surrounded by teammates who share knowledge and enjoy solving problems with software. We foster a collaborative, supportive culture focused on professional growth and work-life balance, allowing technical experts to advance without moving into people management. We invest in our team’s growth, ensuring new skills are developed, and sponsor up to 100 hours per year for self-directed skills development.

We provide a benefits package that includes medical insurance, with contributions up to 84% of the monthly premium (HSA options available, with contributions up to $200/month). Dental and vision insurance premiums are covered up to 50%. We offer a 401(k) plan with a match up to 4% of salary and a profit-sharing bonus up to 15% of salary, paid quarterly.

Employees receive extra compensation for work exceeding 40 hours per week, along with employee referral and customer referral bonuses. We offer a Flex Spending Account (FSA) for dependent care and healthcare costs, including a dependent care FSA contribution of $90/month. Disability coverage includes short-term disability at $500/week for 12 weeks and long-term disability up to $6,000/month. We also provide group term life and AD&D insurance of $50,000.

Paid time off includes PTO, standard holidays, and 2 floating holidays. Paid parental leave is available for up to 6 weeks for birthing parents and 2 weeks for non-birthing parents. We support professional growth through a staff development program, sponsoring up to 100 hours per year for self-directed skills development, in addition to covering training costs.
