In BTR Park Michigan Office Solutions has room to grow

The Business Technology and Research Part at Western Michigan University is the place
Michigan Office Solutions
wants to grow.
The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Xerox Co., has located at 4664 Campus Drive, a 4,000-square-foot building that includes space to see Xerox technology in action.
"The new facility has room to showcase Xerox technology and innovation, and our tradition of hiring interns and alumni through WMU continues to grow, says MOS President Ralph Slider. "We look forward to being a part of this innovative and collaborative environment."
MOS is the 42nd company in the BTR Park and its decision to locate in the Weidenhammer Building means that site is now 100 percent full.
Slider says over the next few years, he says, MOS expects to expand its Kalamazoo office by six to eight employees annually.
The firm has a long history of hiring WMU alumni and has more than a dozen on the company's employee roster. They include professionals in sales and marketing as well as advanced software engineering and information technology.
The BTR Park Launched in 1999 and shares the university's 265-acre Parkview Campus with WMU's College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
MOS is the type of firm the park was designed for--one that fits into the park's profile and one that plans to be actively engaged with the University's academic programs and students, says Bob Miller, WMU associate vice president for community outreach and point person for
the BTR Park
.
"Our focus is on companies in the life sciences, advanced engineering and information technology," Miller says. "We've built an environment in which there's a real sense of synergy between our park partners and the University's academic mission. MOS' presence at the park will certainly serve to enhance that quality."
