Our People

We believe that each team member provides a critical contribution to our success and failure as an organization. We also believe that free and open communication, both within Northwoods and without, is beneficial to our projects and our organization.

As much as we are in the software business, we are in the people business. We strive to attract and retain only the best team players. Our customers tell us that our attitude toward quality and service is a refreshing departure from today's norm.

At Northwoods, we understand the needs of Human Services. Many of our employees have years of experience working in agencies. Their knowledge of the processes used in Human Services helps us create software uniquely suited to meeting the needs of case managers, front desk workers, supervisors, and others in agencies.
