St. L. IT Firm Netelligent Expanding in 21,000 SF in Chesterfield, Mo.

ST. LOUIS – After seeing revenue grow 58 percent over the past three years, Netelligent Corp. will be cultivating greater opportunities in a new 21,000-square-foot headquarters at Chesterfield Village in Chesterfield, Mo.  The information technology firm is more than doubling the size of its headquarters in relocating to Chesterfield Ridge Center at 16401 Swingley Ridge Rd.  Sachs Properties is the developer of the 1,500-acre Chesterfield Village, the first master planned community in metro St. Louis.

“We closed out a great year in 2012 with $33 million in revenue,” said Aaron Stone, co-founder and CEO of Netelligent.  “We’re poised to capitalize on opportunities to advance our award winning managed services and cloud offerings.”  Last fall, the firm opened its newest data center in Singapore.  It also operates data centers in St. Louis and Denver. The firm provides networking, telephone, collaboration/video, data center/servers/storage, virtualization and wireless solutions.  It was previously headquartered in 9,000 square feet of space at 400 South Woods Mill Rd.

Stone said the firm currently employs 70 people after adding 34 percent to its workforce in 2012.  Last year, it was ranked number 471 in its industry on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies and is one of 39 St. Louis firms to make the list.  It was also ranked number two among top workplaces in 2012 by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Stone said the new headquarters’ design will match the creative incentives the firm deploys to help employees achieve goals, including a recent example of a contest that resulted in giving iPads to employees when first quarter goals were achieved.  Designed by Nehring Design, the new headquarters will feature a private workout room, a recreation and game room, a large kitchen space with tables and an onsite cafeteria.  It also includes an enhanced operations center and more meeting and collaboration space.

“We’re looking to attract and retain the best and brightest,” said Stone.  “Relocating to Chesterfield Village gives us greater access to its many amenities including restaurants, shopping and cultural attractions.  Sachs Properties has created a great environment to grow a business.”
