Businessolver opens office in Itasca
ITASCA - Businessolver, a SaaS-based benefits administration technology company, has expand into a nearly 14,000-square-foot office space at One Pierce Place in Itasca.
Iowa-based Businessolver signed a multiyear lease on the new space, which has the capacity to house approximately 60 employees initially, with room to expand to support future growth. The office will serve as the company's regional hub in Chicago, now the fastest-growing technology city in the U.S.
Chicago already is home to many of the nation's top HR professionals, with DePaul University ranked as the No. 2 school in America for bachelor's degrees in human resources.
The Itasca office will be a key operating center for the company with team members from sales, client operations, client services, and product development among those present. It will help support Businessolver's culture and community with remote employees in the area.
The new space adds to Businessolver's footprint across the U.S., with other regional hubs in Denver, Charlotte, and Seattle, and headquarters in West Des Moines, Iowa.
"It's exciting to expand Businessolver into the Chicago area," said Jon Shanahan, Businessolver founder, CEO and president. "We've watched the city expand its technology reach to match its already wide scope in the HR/benefits industry, and it makes sense to have a Businessolver hub there.
"The new office allows us to tap into the high-quality technology and HR talent, as well as the spirit of innovation that Chicago is increasingly known for," he added.
Businessolver chose the DuPage County location for its proximity to O'Hare and major roadways, as well as other tech centers in the area. The Illinois Technology and Research Corridor is a region of commerce and industry nestled along Interstate 88 in the Chicago metropolitan area - primarily in DuPage, and neighboring Kane and DeKalb Counties. The corridor is home to the headquarters or regional centers for many Fortune 1000 companies (including many specializing in research, development, logistics, and technology), several colleges and universities, research and scientific institutions, medical centers, and government centers.
