WorkXpress to Move into LECG IT Support Services Center at Harrisburg University

WorkXpress to Move into LECG IT Support Services Center at Harrisburg University WorkXpress is proud to announce its partnership with Harrisburg University of Science and Technology to support the educational institution’s mission to educate and train students in the latest technology.

Harrisburg, PA, January 26, 2011 -- WorkXpress is proud to announce its partnership with Harrisburg University of Science and Technology to support the educational institution’s mission to educate and train students in the latest technology. As part of the partnership, WorkXpress will be the first company to move into the new LECG IT Support Services Center, located 304 Market Street in Harrisburg.

The move represents a mutually beneficial relationship. Harrisburg University , the site of the LECG Center, earns a perfect outlet for educating students in next wave cloud computing and WorkXpress is provided opportunity to train students on its revolutionary platform to build cloud based software applications. Building complex software with WorkXpress requires no code-based knowledge.

The move into the LECG Center at the University represents a second milestone in the regional business community. By moving into the space, WorkXpress will graduate from the successful Harrisburg Regional Chamber and CREDC Murata Business Center. The company moved into Murata in September 2004 with a vision to build a platform that would enable nonprogrammers to build complex software. With the company’s move out in January 2011, the result is success. Murata provided the right support to foster WorkXpress and provide the company time to build its unique platform as a service now available to the computing world.

Treff LaPlante, WorkXpress president and CEO, said, "Murata for us was more then just a friendly home that understands entrepreneurial challenges; being at Murata positively impacted our startup company across every aspect of its activities. Through Murata and its tenants we received an education on how to build a business, and access to the resources needed to do it."

WorkXpress provides software applications to business that are both affordable and highly customizable. The WorkXpress cloud software platform makes development and customization fast and easy, like using PowerPoint. The company has earned accolades from some of the world’s most recognized cloud computing authorities including Forrester, Gartner, and Tier 1 Research. WorkXpress was also named one of the world’s Top 150 Cloud Computing Companies and Treff LaPlante was named one of the world’s Top 30 virtualization bloggers by Sys-Con Media.

"We were founded with a mission to provide academic programs in science and technology fields that will help to create, to attract and to expand economic opportunities in the region. WorkXpress moving into the Services Center is another strong sign that we're heading in the right direction," says Dr. Eric Darr, Executive Vice President and Provost at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

The LECG IT Support Services Center will promote learning, foster experience, and create job opportunities for information technology students and professionals in the central Pennsylvania region. Operating as a partnership between the academic and commercial worlds, the center will help provide a steady supply of skilled professionals who are in demand in today’s work world. Additionally, it will give local IT students a chance to work and live in the mid-state region upon graduation.
