Spruce Computer Systems, celebrating its 25th year in business in 2010, was originally founded in 1985 by a group of 19 lumber, hardware, and building material dealers who were having trouble finding software that met their needs. Since then, the company has become 70% employee-owned. The company introduced SpruceWare.NET, the industry???s most modern Windows-based information management software, in 2006. Spruce continues to thrive by providing cutting-edge technology using Microsoft???s Visual Studio.NET and a SQL Server database in a user-friendly package that???s built around document management and information access.
