Emergent Software was founded in 2015 by Jamie Anderson and Mark Bajema, two technology business owners whose companies had worked together for over a decade before they decided to consolidate them into something bigger. What brought them together was a shared conviction that businesses were not getting the strategic guidance they needed to get the most out of cloud technology. Cloud was maturing fast and the benefits were real, but most firms were still anchored to on-premises thinking. Emergent Software changed that.
Microsoft was a deliberate choice from the start. The Microsoft ecosystem spans infrastructure, productivity, data, security, and development in a way no other platform matches — a connected suite designed to work together and continuously improving across every layer. Deep expertise within that ecosystem means clients always have access to the broadest range of solutions without managing a fragmented vendor landscape.
From day one, Emergent delivered data, cloud, and software solutions alongside managed services. What has evolved over ten years is the scale and ambition of the work — from focused custom solutions to large, connected, full-system implementations that span the entire Microsoft stack. Emergent is headquartered in Minneapolis but operates as a remote-first company, drawing senior engineering talent from across the United States and Latin America because the right engineer matters far more than where they sit.
