Formerly known locally as Sircon, the insurance industry-focused IT firm
Vertafore moved from their Okemos location to Abbot Road in East Lansing in early 2012 to accommodate the office’s continued growth.
“We have deep roots in Michigan beginning with Sircon,” says Ed Vincent, senior vice president of Producer Lifecycle Management for Vertafore. “We were in a couple of different facilities in Okemos, and we wanted to get everyone in one space.”
The 36,000-square-foot office houses about 130 local Vertafore employees. According the Vincent, the space could accommodate about 25 additional employees, after which the office may consider expanding more in the building.
“I’m excited that we’ll be in the position that we’ll be hiring software engineers ad hiring service professionals,” says Vincent. “We absolutely have a commitment to growing the staff, and giving the staff career development opportunities.”
Vertafore is headquartered in Seattle and employs approximately 1,300 workers. The company purchased Sircon in 2008.
Vincent says the growing staff has been enjoying their new East Lansing home, and look forward to becoming increasingly involved with the community and Michigan State University.
