News Release
INDIANAPOLIS and TORONTO – Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of software and services for communications, collaboration and customer engagement, has expanded its presence in Canada with the opening of an office in Toronto and a data center in Montreal.
This expansion builds on the company's presence in Canada, which began in 2001. The company’s latest Toronto office is in addition to its first regional office located in Montreal.
The new Toronto office spans 5,300 square feet (490 square meters) and is staffed by sales, marketing, professional services, and dedicated cloud support employees. The office is strategically located in the heart of the Greater Toronto Area technology district.
The latest Interactive Intelligence Montreal data center is the second to open in Canada, following the company's Toronto data center, which opened in 2013. Combined, these data centers offer the company's Canadian cloud customers full geo-redundancy throughout the region.
The new Montreal data center has multiple certifications, including SSAE-16, and is a TIER III Design and Construction-certified multitenant data center with guaranteed 100 percent uptime.
Combined with the data center's virtualization technology and architectural flexibility, Canadian cloud customers can be assured that their most stringent security and compliance requirements will be met.
“Our growth in Canada is being driven by several trends here, including increased demand for cloud, mobile, analytics and social customer service technologies,” said Jo-Anne Finney, Interactive Intelligence’s area director for Canada. “With our mature on-premises software, our single-tenant cloud service delivered from our two data centers in Canada, and our new PureCloud platform that offers enterprise-grade multitenant services, our customers get the benefit of the most comprehensive set of communications, collaboration and customer engagement solutions delivered however they want.”
Of Interactive Intelligence's more than 2,000 global employees, more than 50 are located throughout the Eastern, Western and Ontario regions.
