[Hidden-tech] Software firms in the valley

Atalasoft has well over 5 software engineers, and keeps growing.  We
program in C++ and C#.  Any website work we do is contracted out as we
develop core imaging technology and imaging user interface controls for
other software developers.

I am very interested in sharing my experiences with other technology
entrepreneurs in the region as I've been through the hurdles myself over
the past few years.  I wrote an article on my blog last month about
starting a software company outside a startup hub that outlines some of
the benefits (and drawbacks) to being in the Pioneer Valley.  It covers
most of your questions you ask here.  Read it at www.billbither.com.  

I'm also very interested in hearing about others in the area (and there
are a few).

Best Regards,

How many firms are there in the area with more than 5 software
engineers?
Who are they and what do they do?

What firms are doing classic software engineering, using a language like
C++, as compared with web engineering?

Who out there is contemplating any sort of technology startup, for what
marketplace, and what sort of structure?  What are the barriers and
opportunities that differentiate the Pioneer Valley from other areas?
I've
got some ideas about these but I'd like to hear other people's ideas.
