Company Need:

Nexient, the nation’s leading provider of 100 percent, U.S.-based Agile software development services, needed to meet the demand of its software operations. The company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, has a sole delivery center that is close to reaching capacity. Nexient is seeking to open an additional delivery center.

Why Ohio?

Nexient is creating its Columbus Product Development Center to help meet the demand for its software “teams on tap.” The region is a draw for Nexient because of the combination of demographics, affordability, quality of life, growth opportunities and convenient access to The Ohio State University. Nexient is still in the process of selecting a specific location in the Columbus region.

The region is home to 2.1 million people and is the fastest growing metropolitan area in the Midwest. The workforce in the region is young, diverse and highly educated, and the region has one of the nation’s highest concentrations of millennials. Costs to do business in Ohio are low.  The cost of living is 50 percent less than the West Coast, and the cost to operate is nearly 70 percent less.

Proximity to The Ohio State University offers a constant and large pipeline of young, educated workers. And Ohio’s technology environment has attracted innovators including Facebook, Google and Upstart.
