U.S. companies are faced with two key Information Technology challenges. First, after a decade of rapid globalization, U.S. companies are seeing disadvantages of offshoring software production, in particular issues relating to quality control and intellectual property protection. Second, companies are challenged by recruiting and retaining IT talent. In several key markets, there is a negative unemployment rate for IT jobs as positions go unfilled either because talent cannot be found or cannot be attracted to high cost of living metropolitan areas.
Onshoring IT jobs provides U.S. companies with solutions to address these two challenges. IT jobs are brought back to the U.S. by locating jobs in lower-cost cities and regions where savings can be passed on to U.S. companies. In addition, these locations offer employees a lower cost of living and improved quality of life as they are outside the zones of urban congestion.
The Center for Innovation and Development was developed specifically to foster onshoring solutions. Onshoring capabilities are delivered through three services models:
Satellite Campus:you can leverage CID's facility as an extension of your facilities. We provide a complete agency-styled office space for your employees. They are your employees, but co-located here at the CID. To learn more, click here.
Advanced Network Solutions ("ANS"): a for-profit entity that leverages the traditional on-shoring concept where companies would contract with ANS in one of three offerings: a) Consulting Services, b) Project Services or c) Customer Development. To learn more, click here.
Business Re-engineering Corp. ("BRC"): as a HUB Zone eligible location, the BRC provides its partner companies with an opportunity to better compete for prime and sub-prime federal contracts. To learn more, click here.

Our mission is to give communities a fair deal when data centers come to town and become a permanent aspect of the local landscape.
GreenPlex is a green living, playing, working campus built to answer the needs of the Citizens, a campus the community specifies. Organizationally, GreenPlex is comprised of formal partnerships between universities, communities, facilities developers, virtual energy providers, collaboration engineers and AI experts.
Let’s collaborate! Please get in touch:
The question isn’t whether communities should say yes or no to data centers. The question is why wait for data center developers to tell us what we’re getting.
