ConnectWise Plans 10,000-Square-Foot HQ ExpansionConnectWise Plans 10,000-Square-Foot HQ Expansion

ConnectWise this week said it plans an immediate expansion of its Tampa, Fla. headquarters in Hillsborough County to accommodate anticipated growth.

The professional services automation (PSA) software provider said it will occupy an additional 10,000 square feet in the Westshore Business District by 2015. The expansion is expected to create up to 112 new jobs and $1.28 million in capital investment by 2016, the company said.

ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini told MSPmentor that the company has 50 positions available right now and is looking to hire software engineers, technical support and consultants who have domain expertise.

"Our company culture is very important to us so we look for bright, enthusiastic people who work hard but are dedicated to helping our partners succeed," he said.

Bellini said ConnectWise is actively looking at several properties in the Tampa area to support this growth, but it has not made a final decision.

"As we continue to build out our resources and provide support for our partners, we only see this resulting in a great customer service experience, software enhancements that further add to our partners' business productivity, and additional domain expertise that can help our partners implement improvements in their processes," he said.

This company said the expansion was made possible through partnerships between Enterprise Florida, the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corp., Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, CareerSource Florida and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

"We could not have anticipated the adoption of all of the solutions within the ConnectWise community," Bellini said. "We need to support this unbelievable growth and there is no better time than now."
