A global information technology company based in Birmingham, Ala., is opening an office in Nashville this month.

CircleSource, which develops software products for businesses, will operate a sales, marketing and project management office from Nashville. The company runs its software development from an offshore subsidiary in Bangalore, India, and also has an office in Huntsville, Ala.

"CircleSource opening an office in Middle Tennessee once again reinforces the opportunities that exist for product engineering services in information technology," said Nashville Technology Council President Jeff Costatine in a release announcing the move.

Janet Collins, vice president of business development for the Nashville office, says the growth of Nashville business is what attracted the firm.

"I've been doing some networking up here for about a year, and I just see a lot of opportunities," Collins says.

Collins says she will sign a lease for space within the week and have a ribbon cutting in February.

Initially, Collins will run the office alone, but by the end of the year she hopes to have at least a couple support staff. Positions will be for upper-level management professionals for sales, marketing, customer relations and account management positions, she says.
