Edgewater Networks Moves to Edvenvale
As we outgrew our existing headquarters, we knew we had to find a new location that would be spacious enough to allow us to continue to develop our current products as well as branch out into new markets. San Jose provided many options to help us meet our needs for growth. We required a quick turnaround, and San Jose staff were extremely professional, efficient, and accommodating so that we could make our move seamlessly with little downtime.
