What's new at Springthrough? Glad you asked

When asked about "what's new" at Springthrough, neither CEO Mike Williams nor their new VP of Interactive, Michael Brown, hesitates in outlining an impressive list of projects, updates, and an optimistic vision for a collaborative and creative workforce in downtown Grand Rapids.

Brown cites a number of "significantly sized" proposals and bids on mobile projects involving iOS, Android and Windows 8 (It's not just an iOS world out there in West Michigan"), a "hot" market for touchscreen interactive, and Springthrough's Platinum Partnership with .NET web content management platform Sitefinity as examples of "what's new" for the 48-person (and growing) technology firm.

Williams follows up on Brown's updates, specifically highlighting the work the firm has done redesigning Haworth's website, Haworth.com. "Haworth has been a phenomenal partner. The launch of Haworth.com was a huge undertaking. It's become quite the partnership."  Springthrough's redesign of the site was awarded Top Five Site List by Sitefinity in June 2013.

Both Williams and Brown reference the potential in the marketplace for development of key strategic partnerships with local and regional creative agencies, with Springthrough adding the technology and enterprise expertise to complex, integrated projects such as the Haworth website and ecommerce store.

Looking at job growth, Williams said the firm is always looking for talent. "We have two distinct services; web and app development and consulting services. Both areas have openings. On the development side, we are currently looking for a senior software architect." Williams also adds that it is very possible they will also be adding 5-10 developers in the near future.
