Paperclip

PaperClip is an innovative software development and services company. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Paperclip is based in Hackensack, New Jersey and around since 1991. More on paperclip.com.
