To say it’s been a good year for Maverick Software Consulting would be an understatement.

The software company, which was founded in 2006 by Minnesota State University alumnus Martin Hebig, started off on one campus with one client, Thomson Reuters. Now, Maverick Software has expanded to six offices and four partners on nine college campuses, setting a record in 2011 for yearly growth.

To top it all off, the company won the prestigious 2011 Innovative Collaboration of the Year Tekne Award from the Minnesota High Tech Association.

“Winning the award was pretty exciting,” said Chuck Sherwood, co-owner and vice president of Maverick Software, who manages the MSU campus location. “We thought we had a pretty good shot, but you never know until they read the name.”

Sherwood said the company has applied for the award for the past three years before finally winning it. He and his team have always applied for the Innovative Award, out of the Tekne’s 14 categories, because of the special partnership Maverick Software has with corporate partners such as Thomson Reuters and MnSCU students who want to pursue careers in software development and testing.

Right now, about 110 state university system students work for Maverick Software, testing and developing software for corporate partners. Many of these students go on to work for these partners once they graduate.

“It’s more about the partnership, not just us,” Sherwood said. “This particular category is right where we are.”

“For a small company to win an award of this stature is incredible,” said company founder and President Martin Hebig. “If your colleagues and people in the industry think what you’re doing is valuable, it validates what you’ve been doing for the past years.”

The students who work at Maverick Software are also proud of their company’s success.

“I know (Maverick Software) is kind of a new company, so this kind of recognition is great for Marty and Chuck,” said Mordy Nwanokwale. “Hopefully, it attracts more students and clients.”

Nwanokwale is a senior at Minnesota State University majoring in information technology. He said he was recruited during a class and has been working at Maverick Software for about a year.

“It’s been different than any other job I’ve had,” Nwanokwale said. “Now we get to work with real-world projects, so it’s kind of cool getting that experience.”

Sherwood said Maverick Software will continue applying for Tekne awards in the future. The company also has plans for more expansion, with Hebig hoping to double the company’s offices from six to 12 within the next three years.

“It’s busy, but it’s doable,” Hebig said. “We’ve got it down to a science. As long as the demand continues … I think that the growth will continue to happen.”

The Minnesota High Tech Association (MHTA) honored Maverick Software Consulting with the 2011 Innovative Collaboration of the Year Tekne Award during a ceremony at the Minneapolis Convention Center Nov. 3. The Tekne Awards recognize Minnesota companies and individuals who have shown superior technology innovation and leadership.

Minneapolis-based Maverick Software Consulting was recognized for developing a first-of-its-kind academia-meets-corporate America partnership, bringing together top computer-science students from campuses across Minnesota with major corporations seeking local software development and software testing. In partnership with Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU), Advance IT Minnesota, Thomson Reuters and Digital River, Maverick provides corporate partners with top student talent as a successful, proven option for cost-effective software development and testing services and an experienced workforce after graduation. It also provides students real-world experience working in the field with cutting-edge technology – and typically a job offer prior to graduation.

“We’re honored to be counted among the ‘who’s who’ in the Minnesota technology community, and thank our academic and corporate partners, and the outstanding work of our student employees, for making the Maverick program so successful in creating technology jobs and hands-on learning opportunities for students across the Midwest,” said Hebig. “Receiving the Tekne Award is a testament to how well the program is working for everyone involved, from corporations to universities and students to the entire community.”

Maverick continues to seek corporate partners to join the award-winning program and benefit from cost-effective software development and testing work, as well as an experienced workforce after graduation. With the support of additional corporate partners, Maverick is positioned to expand to other college campuses with renowned computer science programs across the Midwest, including Winona State University and the University of Minnesota – Duluth.

Hebig founded the program in 2006, starting out with one corporate partner, Thomson Reuters, and one office with a staff of 10 student employees. Since then, the company has rapidly grown to an army of 110 across nine college campuses and three states – and more than 150 students have graduated from the program. 2011 has been a record-setting year of growth, with three new corporate partners joining the program and MnSCU participating as an official academic partner. In August and September, Maverick added 20 new jobs for student employees, and opened a new office in St. Paul, Minn. All six offices are located on or close to college campuses, including Minnesota State University, Mankato; the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities; the University of Wisconsin – Madison; Iowa State University in Ames; Metropolitan State University, the University of Saint Thomas, Bethel University and Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn.; and the newly opened office on the campus of St. Cloud State University.
