History

After working together during the DotCom boom, Carl Erickson and Bill Bereza founded Atomic Object in 2001. Carl and Bill originally started their work together with research projects at GVSU where Carl was a professor and Bill was an undergraduate.

In 2003 we purchased and rehabilitated the century-old, former Station C Grand Rapids Post Office that is our current home. In 2003 we also founded the trade association XP West Michigan that attracts up to 90 IT professionals to monthly meetings and brings in nationally known experts.

Atomic Object has averaged 30% revenue growth per year since its inception and currently ranks as the sixth largest software development company in West Michigan according to the Grand Rapids Business Journal. Not only have we done well locally, we’ve also gained national recognition as well.

And, of course, we’ve answered the question, “What is an Atomic Object?“
