ILM Professional Services, Inc.

ILM is a minority and woman-owned software development consulting business based in the Twin Cities, founded in 2002. We're proud to be a long-standing Microsoft Gold Partner that works with companies in our home state of Minnesota and throughout the U.S. Our focus is on quality work as well as being a team of forward and innovative thinkers. We build custom enterprise software solutions and mobile applications to meet a variety of business needs. From requirements analysis and user experience definition to technical architecture, through rich front-end and sophisticated back-end development, we continually work on our mastery of cutting-edge technologies. As a consulting business, our client relationships are important to us. The time we spend with them is not only valuable to us, but we also use it as an opportunity to be fully transparent in our communications. We view them as true partners, and because of that connection, our clients have loved us back, resulting in over 80% of our business being repeat. Another reason clients hire us is because we follow the best business practice of getting our work completed on budget and on time, a true value. When it comes to ILM consultants, we only hire quality people, the top 2%. We've developed a strict hiring process to achieve that standard, and that benefits us and our clients. The candidate must be a high-end, passionate technologist. In return, team members are well compensated and most of them stay with us long-term. ILM's three core beliefs are: Imagine, Learn, and Mentor. This has led us to winning several workplace awards from Inc. Magazine, Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal and Minnesota Business Magazine. We firmly believe in the professional growth of everyone on our team, so we provide on-going training to our employees to ensure that their skills stay current and never stagnant. This has led our team of 30+ employees to continually draw high praise in our industry.
