July 1, 2010 – Kalliki Software, LLC is the newest client at the South Dakota Technology Business Center. The company focuses on open source web and software development and was founded by Shane Thomas, Adam Learing and Michael Lustfield. All three founders are recent graduates of Dakota State University.

 “At Kalliki Software we focus on developing a relationship with our customers so we can better understand and anticipate their software, web development, and technical consultation needs,” says CEO Shane Thomas. “By taking advantage of open source software, we are able to provide our clients a great value without compromising on quality.”

Kalliki has been in business for more than a year and has customers located in several states. According to Thomas, by focusing on the cost advantage and flexibility of open source software, they have been able to leverage current market conditions and hit the ground running.

“Our staff is excited to have the opportunity to work with Kalliki and assist them as the company grows and diversifies its suite of services and products,” says Rich Naser, SDTBC executive director. “Shane and his team have done a great job in identifying an initial market niche on which to build their company.”
