SHIFT NEW BEGINNINGS

At the end of each year at Shift we pause to reflect on all of the things both personally and professionally we’ve accomplished together. This year we committed code to more than 70 repositories which included tens of thousands of new lines of code. We launched four new products and more than 50 new features for existing clients. We welcomed seven new extraordinary team members and celebrated four 5+ year anniversaries. Shift was nominated for awards by Expertise.com and Technology Association of Iowa (TAI) and hosted & volunteered with many tech groups in the community.

We could go on and on about our team and all of their accomplishments (I mean have you met them — they’re pretty great). But the highlight of this year was the journey we embarked on to determine the future path for Shift. We’ve spent much time this year determining our values, focus, one year, three year, 10 year pictures and ultimately what is going to make Shift the best place to work for our employees. As of December 1st, 2022 Justyn Miller, President of Shift, purchased Shift from the Anthologic organization.

As Shift and Anthologic have grown, our processes and capabilities have naturally diverged into two strong (but separate) streams of service — all in the pursuit of the best solutions for our clients. Because of this reality, it just made sense for the two companies to strike out on their own.

We thank everyone (employees and clients) who have been a part of Shift over the years for their role in building our company from a small website shop to an enterprise software development company. Shift would not be what it is today without all of you.

This change represents an exciting opportunity for both companies to explore new solutions, push limits and bring our respective visions to realization. And although we will be apart on paper, Anthologic will remain a close, collaborative partner on future projects where both our strengths and specialties are needed.

We at Shift are excited to see what the future holds and to continue helping our clients reimagine the way business gets done through technology. Cheers to 2023 and a year of new possibilities!
