Creative Breakthroughs is enjoying a, well, you know, breakthrough, these days now that it has received a hefty state tax break to make an even bigger investment in its Troy office that should lead to dozens of new hires.
The IT firm plans to invest $780,000 to expand its headquarters by 3,000 square feet to 7,500 square feet. That should allow the company of 30 people to continue to add more staff, thanks to a $1 million state tax break over five years and a similar tax abatement from the city of Troy. The company expects to hire 100 people over that time, including 20 in the next year.
"We have added regional sales reps to different territories in the country," says Amy White, marketing manager with Creative Breakthroughs. "We are continuing to hire."
Creative Breakthroughs specializes in network security, integration, and management. Put more simply, the firm's technology allows its customers to more effectively manage their IT infrastructure with custom applications. The 20-year-old firm's customers are rooted in the public, non-profit, healthcare, legal, banking, financial services, manufacturing, education, government and retail sectors. Some of its more prominent clients include Home Depot, Cardinal Health, GE, Baxter, Wells Fargo, Symantec's, Ford, and Citigroup.
Creative Breakthroughs was also considering a competing site in Texas before deciding to expand at home.
