Interactive Intelligence Group Inc. has hit a company milestone by exceeding 1,000 total employees, 601 of whom are based in Indiana.

The Indianapolis business-communications software firm said on Thursday that it has added 190 jobs in the state since the beginning of 2010—a 46-percent growth rate in its Indiana employment.

The average salary of its state employees is $71,000, the publically traded company said.

Interactive Intelligence is the Indianapolis-area's largest software developer in terms of local employment, with 186 at its northwest-side headquarters, according to IBJ statistics.

Its major clients include Eli Lilly and Co., The Finish Line Inc. and Honda Motor Co.
 
CEO Donald E. Brown founded Interactive Intelligence in 1994. It has more than 4,000 customers worldwide and offices throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.

For the first six months of 2011, Interactive Intelligence increased revenue 35 percent, to $73.8 million, largely by increasing sales to larger customers and expanding its international presence. Profit grew 31 percent, to $14 million.

Company shares opened Friday morning priced at $28.28 each.

An article in the Sept. 26 IBJ will examine the impact of Brown's first major software firm, Software Artistry, on the Indianapolis-area tech community.

  1. If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.

  2. John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.

  3. I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.

  4. Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
