Knowledge Services announced Tuesday they are building a new headquarters at 11001 USA Parkway in Fishers. They expect to create the 400 jobs by 2021.
The female-owned company, which provides cloud software and services to complex organizations, will invest more than $17 million to build and equip the new 80,000-square-foot headquarters. The company's current headquarters is at 5875 Castle Creek Parkway in Indianapolis.

"Growth from companies like Knowledge Services continues to showcase that Indiana is the best place to start a business, grow a business and get a job," said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch. "We are thrilled Knowledge Services continues to choose Indiana for its expansions, creating hundreds of jobs for hardworking Hoosiers! We look forward to witnessing its continued success in Indiana and will do our part in creating a business climate that helps to propel continued economic growth across the state."
Knowledge Services was founded in 1994. The company says it is growing to meet the needs of its client base across the U.S. with plans to move into the new space in 2019.
This is Knowledge Services' fourth expansion announcement in five years.
The company currently employs 1,200 Hoosiers and more than 1,500 professionals across the United States.
“We’re thrilled for the Knowledge Services family to be starting a new chapter in business-friendly and technology-vibrant Fishers, Indiana,” said Julie Bielawski, chief executive officer of Knowledge Services. “This location will be a state-of-the-art headquarters for our amazingly talented team, and will enhance collaboration and drive further innovation. Our new environment will allow us to retain and grow a remarkably talented and engaging team of professionals who are creating the most exciting and advanced workforce development solutions available.”
According to a press release issued by the company, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered GuideSoft Inc. (dba Knowledge Services) up to $1,500,000 in conditional tax credits and up to $200,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. In addition, the IEDC will provide the city of Fishers up to $2,244,000 in infrastructure assistance from the state’s Industrial Development Grant Fund. The city of Fishers will consider additional incentives pending council approval.
"High growth companies have found their place in Fishers and, as a pioneer in cloud software, Knowledge Services is a great complement to the city's growing list of innovative, entrepreneurial firms," said Mayor Scott Fadness. "We're excited to welcome the Bielawskis and the entire Knowledge Services family as they invest and continue to plant roots in our vibrant community."
