Onshoring company creates IT jobs in rural U.S.A.
TWO RIVERS, WI (October 25, 2012) – The State of Wisconsin has honored a Two Rivers business as one of the most exciting and promising young companies in Wisconsin. Rural America Onshore Outsourcing, 1308 Washington St., recently received the prestigious Minority Business Rising Star Award from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). The WEDC gave the honor to Rural America Onshore Outsourcing for its role in bringing jobs back to America and keeping them here, and for helping companies save money by hiring qualified professionals from rural locations across the country.
The WEDC gives the “Rising Star” award to recognize an emerging minority business that shows great promise as an innovator, either by virtue of its product or service, or shows promise of strong competitive advantage and growth.
Rural America received the award on October 16 at the Governor’s Conference on Minority Business Development in Milwaukee. The winning application at is posted online at http://www.ruralamericaonshore.com/about-us/wedc_2012_rising_star_app
“The nation is focused on jobs right now,” says Sammie McDonald, COO of Rural America. “It’s exciting that a minority-owned company here in Manitowoc County is helping lead the way to find and keep jobs in the U.S.A.”
Rural America specializes in helping American companies lower cost by providing outsourcing services in the competitive world of computer technology and IT services. McDonald says Rural America clients have saved as much as 40 percent over the cost of taking work to more expensive urban areas or overseas.
“We find that many rural areas have well-qualified and incredibly talented people. Many of these workers prefer the rural lifestyle over that of a big city,” says McDonald. ““Rural America draws from a talent pool of more than 9,000 workers across the nation, from seasoned IT professionals to computer programmers just entering the work force.”
Christopher Hytry Derrington, company co-founder and chief executive officer, says he is definitely seeing many jobs previously outsourced overseas are now returning to America. “Companies see us as a terrific alternative to going overseas. They are canceling overseas outsourcing agreements and bringing that work back to America. It’s rewarding to see our small company in Two Rivers bringing jobs back to America.”
Rural America offers services in a wide range of expertise that companies are getting from urban and offshore providers:
