The interview had happened, the photographer had come and gone a couple weeks ago but we didn't really know what was going to happen with the story that Atalasoft's founder and president, Bill Bither, had contributed to. What a pleasant surprise to pick up Sunday edition of Springfield's Republican and see Bill's head above the fold on the front page for an in-depth article, several column-inches long.

What had started out as a story about participation in the Regional Technology Corporation, of which Atalasoft is an active member, turned into a case study of a successful local technology company with Atalasoft as the subject matter.

After providing the writer with a lot of background information as well as Bill's business philosophy, we were unsure of what to expect. It was very encouraging to see how positively Bill's statements, and our company were positioned in the article. We hope that the article will give entrepreneurs in the area, as well as students in the region, more reasons to start a company here and help build a community of innovators and collaborators.

Here's one more link to the article.
