Southfield's ImageSoft grows biz, adds positions, buys new office space

ImageSoft is growing. This we know. However, the 14-year-old firm is growing so quickly it has bought a home in Southfield to help facilitate its future growth.

The government efficiency company purchased a 15,000-square-foot building at 25900 Eleven Mile Road near American Road. It plans to gut the space and recreate it with its own flair, such as opening up the floor plan and installing state-of-the-art technology.

"There is a cool factor, a comfort factor, and a convenience factor," says Scott Bade, president ImageSoft. "We thought we could have all of those with our own space."

ImageSoft counts county governments from across Michigan as customers, from Washtenaw to Grand Traverse. It helps clients eliminate the red tape and paperwork that bogs down their systems and services, thereby becoming more efficient. This has allowed the firm to add 11 people over the last couple of years, for a total staff of 56 employees and three interns. It expects to continue its 20 percent annual revenue growth, which should allow 100 more hires within five years.
