Expanding Development Capacity

We had our annual meeting at GiftRAP a few weeks ago, and we introduced our first employees that have been hired to work in our new Atlanta office! GiftRAP began investigating additional locations in early 2010, so that we could expand our capacity to develop great new features for our customers. The finalists were Charlotte, NC and Alpharetta, GA. After completing additional research, we concluded that Alapharetta had the most amount of development talent to draw from. Additionally, our data center is located in Atlanta, and it is easily accessible (1.5 hour flight) from West Palm Beach (our home airport in Florida) and just about anywhere else in North America.

We continue to be committed to keeping our development onshore, and we also believe strongly in keeping development teams located together, as it enhances team collaboration which leads to the highest quality development. In order to stay true to this commitment and to also continue building on the capacity to develop new features, we are committed to building two complete development teams (10 - 12 employees) in the Alpharetta office in 2011. These new teams will focus on extending our mobile platform and delivering on the great ideas that come in through our ROX Ideas website.

We look forward to our new team members adding to the innovative features in ROX!
