Interactive Intelligence Grows Jobs in Indiana 46 Percent


INDIANAPOLIS --(Business Wire)--

Interactive Intelligence (News - Alert) Group Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of unified IP business communications solutions, has exceeded the 1,000-plus total employee mark, 601 of whom are based in Indiana.

The company has added 190 net new permanent jobs in Indiana since Jan. 1, 2010, which equates to 46 percent job growth in the state. Interactive's average annual salary for Indiana employees of $71,000 is a full 78 percent above the state average.

"More than products, patents, or distribution channels, our employees are our most valuable asset," said Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO, Dr. Donald E. Brown. "An Indiana headquarters since our founding has enabled us to recruit and retain an amazing staff of loyal, hard-working and passionate individuals."

"Interactive Intelligence's job growth is a true testament that Indianapolis remains a great place to do business and is well positioned for the future," said Mayor Greg Ballard. "The company's continued investment in Indianapolis is a boost to our growing technology industry, and the jobs Interactive Intelligence provides are exactly the types of quality jobs we are focused on bringing to the city."

Crossing another threshold earlier this summer, Interactive reported in excess of $1 billion in cumulative revenue associated with the licensing, deployment, training and support of its solutions.

Interactive Intelligence has won hundreds of awards since its founding in 1994, including Forbes Magazine's Best Small Companies in America, BusinessWeek's Hot Growth 50, and Fortune Small Business Magazine's Fastest Growing Public Companies.

Local awards include Indiana Business magazine's 50 Great Indiana Businesses, United Way of Central Indiana's Company that Cares, and the Indiana Chamber's Outstandin Employer of the Year and its Best Places to Work in Indiana.



"Especially given these challenging economic times, we're proud to have continued to grow and provide an exciting work environment for so many deserving people here in Indiana," Brown said. "We're successfully competing against Silicon Valley-based companies that are ten times our size, and that's yet another testament to the very special people who call this place home."
