Ann Arbor's VeoProject continues to grow as evidenced by its expanding payroll.

Ann Arbor-based Bitcarvers, the creators of VeoProject, have increased its employee base to 10 people and are looking to add interns this summer. It hopes to add more employees later this year.

"The market for our software has been expanding dramatically over the last year," says John Wyderko, chief technology officer of VeoProject. He adds that southeast Michigan is "a gold mine" for finding quality project managers.

VeoProject is a lot like Microsoft Project. It helps users manage projects, tasks and their everyday worklife ...except its done from a website. This allows users to access it from anywhere they can get an Internet connection. In comparison, Microsoft Office is run from a single computer or system. The idea is to make it appealing to business travelers far from their home computing base or telecommuters working from home.

Bitcarvers are now incorporating VeoProject with social media outlets, such as Twitter. The idea is to use these programs to help keep projects and their managers on track. Bitcarvers are also working to establish partnerships to help it hit its financial milestones and spur more growth.
