GLASGOW’S JOB BOOST FROM DOWN UNDER
A leading provider of sales enablement automation solutions has unveiled plans to make Scotland one of its principal international locations following support from Scottish Enterprise.
Bigtincan will expand its software development centre in Glasgow and accelerate a series of R&D projects to boost the company’s core platform capabilities, creating 40 jobs in the process.
The project has received comprehensive support from Scotland’s national economic development agency including a £1.4m funding package.
This will significantly transform the company’s existing Glasgow site and drive greater long-term investment into Bigtincan’s UK operations.
David Keane, CEO of Bigtincan said: “Bigtincan has grown dramatically – more than doubling in size in the last six months – and this growth presents exciting opportunities for our customers and employees.
“We are expanding our presence in Europe, with our Scotland development centre as a strategic hub focused on Data Science, R&D, as well as evolving our core products.
“This exciting growth hub is only the beginning of our investments in Scotland, and we are committed to continued growth in the dynamic city of Glasgow.”
Welcoming the announcement, Scottish Government Minister for Business, Trade, Tourism and Enterprise, Ivan McKee said: “We want Scotland to be the best place to live, work and invest so we are committed to growing the economy in a sustainable and inclusive way.
“Bigtincan already has a presence in Glasgow and this investment will support the creation of more high-quality jobs, helping to grow the local economy.
“Scotland has huge economic potential so we will continue to work with businesses to unlock more high skilled jobs like these.
“Inward investment has a significant role to play in Scotland’s economic recovery and transformation. Our skilled workforce, research facilities and supportive investment culture, aligned to our values as a nation, are highly attractive to foreign companies.”
With global headquarters in Sydney, Australia and US headquarters in Waltham, MA, Bigtincan’s sales enablement automation platform aims to deliver “The Buying Experience of the Future” to their customer’s customers—empowering sales and marketing teams to drive improved business results.
The company’s software automates sales content management, training, coaching, document creation and buyer interaction into a single digital experience.
Bigtincan is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and has enjoyed recent rapid growth with offices around the world, including in the United States, the UK, Denmark and Australia.
