JONESBORO, Ark., February 27, 2017 – Rural Sourcing, the leading provider of US-based IT outsourcing services, announced today a new office location in Jonesboro, AR.
The new office, located at 411 Union Street, has been recently renovated following a fire in July 2015. Built in the early 1900’s, the building is in line with Rural Sourcing’s vision of working within restored historical buildings to help revitalize and attract other businesses to the downtown area.
“We’re excited about the restoration of the building and the opportunities it affords us to grow and invest in our Jonesboro location,” said Ingrid Miller, chief operating officer at Rural Sourcing Inc. “We look forward to customizing this space to create a fun, Googlesque environment that our colleagues are proud to share with our clients and community.”
Rural Sourcing was founded in Jonesboro in 2004 and is home to its first software development center. Over the course of several years, additional centers have opened in Augusta, GA, Mobile, AL, and most recently, Albuquerque, NM.
Rural Sourcing’s mission is to be the onshore alternative for software development and support that might traditionally be sent offshore to countries such as India and China. By opening these technology hubs in low-cost of living, high-quality of life U.S. cities, Rural Sourcing helps clients lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) for IT. Furthermore, by having development centers in the United States, Rural Sourcing’s clients benefit from common language, cultural and business alignment, and time-zone compatibility.
