Yet another high-tech business in Fishers is planning to expand, with tax incentive help from the state of Indiana. Netfor, which describes itself as a provider of technical and customer-experience managed services, plans to create up to 97 new jobs by 2021.
The company says it plans to invest more than $4 million to lease and equip a renovated 17,500-square-foot office in the Fishers Tech Park, which is more than double the size of its current office at 11810 Technology Drive. Netfor expects to move into the new space by the end of 2017.
Netfor is heavily involved in the Internet of Things, providing technology support for software and cloud-based information technology product.
“We are experiencing significant growth with our cloud service desk, a team that helps support environments like AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft’s cloud products,” said Raquel Richardson, president for Netfor, in a news release from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). “Companies that care about creating the best experience for their products and services truly get Netfor and our expertise to layer in ITIL® practices and knowledge management to consistently and predictably provide answers to their clients so they can scale, perform within agreed upon service levels and get their product to market faster.”
The IEDC offered Netfor up to $340,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $25,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until employees are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Fishers will consider additional incentives.
“Today’s announcement continues our strong momentum by delivering more investment and jobs to our city,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, per the news release. “Netfor provides a critical service for leading industries and I’m excited to see them continue to grow in Fishers.“
Netfor employs 119 associates in Indiana and is currently hiring for positions in sales, customer service, cloud support and field operations. You may apply for jobs through the company’s Web site at this link.
