The Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal recently published its annual list of who’s who among Twin Cities tech firms. This year the Journal combined the Software Developer and Software-as-a-Service lists into one. And, SPS was (again) ranked as the largest firm with 375 local software developers as of March 1, 2020, almost double that of the next software firm.

The Leader in Twin Cities Tech

The annual list showcased 33 Twin Cities software companies who deliver solutions for retail, eCommerce, financial services, health care, logistics and more. Together, these firms employ nearly 2,000 technology professionals, approximately 20 percent of whom work at SPS Commerce.

“SPS Commerce started in St. Paul and has been in downtown Minneapolis for more than a decade at the SPS Tower. The Twin Cities is our home because it dominates the region in innovation, education, and culture. I am honored to have our local tech teams recognized for all they do. They lead the pack not just in numbers, but in talent and passion. We would like to thank the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal for naming SPS the Twin Cities leader in tech!”
