New Technology Firm Opens In Jonesboro
August 18, 2004
JONESBORO -- When it comes to getting technical support for computer software U.S.
companies have been looking overseas. But one new company in Jonesboro wants those
companies to turn their attention to rural America.
If U.S. companies can outsource to India surely they can outsource to Jonesboro if we
can deliver a good product and make it cost competitive. Rural Sourcing Incorporated
officially opened its doors Tuesday in Jonesboro. This small company says it will help
bigger companies spend money more wisely. "Their key money can be spent on building
new applications to build their business while we can maintain their existing systems and
do their day to day operations for them," says Director Henry Torres. The new center
opens up a world for opportunities to local IT students. "It's exciting to see that these jobs
are now coming to rural areas, people can get their degrees and stay in their home towns
while achieving their dreams," says ASU student and Rural Sourcing employee Erin
Bader.
The company as a whole dreams big. Kathy Brittain White, president of Rural Sourcing,
Inc. says, "In ten years we want to have fifty Rural Sourcing Centers in twenty states,
employing over a thousand workers." The company has already started negotiations with
companies in Chicago and Hawaii. It has also formed alliances with two companies-one
being Novell, a billion dollar technology company in Boston. Rural Sourcing has twelve
employees and plans to keep its corporate office here in Jonesboro.
