Atomic Object

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 Helmus Brothers building that is our current home. In 2003 we also founded the trade association SoftwareGR that typically attracts 25-50 IT professionals to monthly meetings and brings in nationally known experts.

Atomic Object has averaged greater than 25% revenue growth per year since its inception and currently ranks as the second 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.

The communities we’re a part of are a vital aspect of who we are. Supporting those communities is a reward of running our business well.
