It is becoming an industry standard, having been selected as the best-of-breed solution by many of the largest enterprises around the globe, as well as being selected as the solution of choice by our channel partners for providing a solution to their enterprise contact center customers.
“New York state made it clear in words, actions and incentives that they wanted us to achieve our growth plans in NY, which made the decision a clear choice for us to invest for growth here as opposed to considering other potential locations.”
The company began talks with ESD last summer related to its Central New York expansion. The firm has locations in more than 20 states an initially considered expanding elsewhere.
The expansion in Central New York also means all 113 current employees will be retained. The region would have lost 98 of those jobs if ShoreGroup’s expansion had occurred out of state.
