West Des Moines-based Businessolver Inc. announced it has opened an office in the Dallas metro area to serve as its southern U.S. hub. Jon Shanahan, Businessolver’s president and CEO, said the move brings the company physically closer to many of its clients and opens up a new talent pipeline for hiring in that area, which is in close proximity to several major state and private universities. The new office, in Addison, is 16 miles north of downtown Dallas and is expected to triple from its current eight employees by year-end. Businessolver is a leading software as a service (SaaS)-based benefits administration technology company. It also has offices in Denver, Charlotte, Seattle, Chicago, Iowa City and Louisville in addition to its West Des Moines headquarters.
