KC’s ‘growth and excitement’ attracts Phoenix tech firm
October 6, 2015 | Bobby Burch
Give yourselves a pat on the back, Kansas City techies.
The Kansas City tech community has once again enticed an out-of-state firm to expand to the City of Fountains. Phoenix-based cloud computing company Inspire Data Solutions recently opened a downtown Kansas City office in hopes of tapping into the area’s burgeoning tech community.
A former Kansas City resident, Inspire Data Solutions founder Santos Garcia said that the company plans to hire four people in Kansas City with the prospect of adding more positions in coming years.
“Since I’m originally from this area, this expansion allows us to continue to grow our national presence as a top Microsoft Cloud partner,” Garcia said. “But (the expansion) also enables us to use the familiarity we have of the city and take advantage of the growth and excitement that Kansas City is currently experiencing. … The tech scene is definitely one of the best I’ve experienced and we hope to become an integral part of it.”
Inspire Data Solutions helps businesses move information to the cloud with data migration as well as company Intranets, application development and Microsoft Office 365 consulting. The company’s Kansas City office is located at 929 Walnut St.
Founded in 2004 as an IT support firm, Inspire Data Solutions now has eight employees and serves clients around the country. The company is now looking for area sales and administrative professionals to join its team.
