PIERRE, S.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eagle Creek Software Services, a United States-based IT consulting and technical services company specializing in Oracle CRM, business intelligence and eCommerce software development, announced it has reached 100 employees in its Pierre project center, a reflection of the heightened customer demand from companies for higher quality, lower risk IT consulting and technical expertise within the areas of CRM, BI and eCommerce software development.
The 100th Pierre employee milestone comes on the heels of the company celebrating its 13th anniversary. Eagle Creek has undergone tremendous growth since it was founded in 1999, including its hiring of more than 300 employees to work at the company’s three project centers located in Pierre, S.D., Valley City, N.D. and Eden Prairie, Minn.
Eagle Creek operates three U.S.-based project centers founded on its Dakota model, which places the company’s facilities in locations that have lower cost of business, resulting in lower client costs. The Dakota Model utilizes a public-private strategic alliance between the company and the state governments of North Dakota and South Dakota to achieve consistency and sustainability in the recruitment, training and development of the company’s U.S.-based consultants.
“Eagle Creek’s employee growth is a direct result of the continued expansion of our services in BI and eCommerce software development,” said Ken Behrendt, president of Eagle Creek. “The 100th employee mark also signifies the strength of the Pierre project center and the increased customer demand for offsite development and support resources that work in a highly collaborative manner for critical customer-facing projects and without the risks associated with offshore models.”
“Eagle Creek has been an invaluable partner and resource to Pierre by helping to bring in highly qualified recruits and young people into our town,” said Laurie Gill, mayor of Pierre. “Its significant commitment to the community has greatly impacted South Dakota’s economic growth and development.”
