A health care software company that employed 35 people in Waterbury announced Tuesday that it is leaving the state and will invest hundreds of thousands of dollars and add103 jobs in Westchester County, N.Y.
AmkaiSolutions, which develops software programs that track patients’ medical records, has leased 7,000 square feet of office space in Armonk, N.Y. It was lured to the state by $434,140 in tax credits.
In return, the company has pledged to invest $437,000 in New York and create 103 new jobs over the next five years, 35 of which will be created this year.
The company was founded in 2005 by Dr. Peter Sereny and headquartered in Waterbury. As a result of the move, AmkaiSolutions will no longer have a presence in Connecticut, where it formerly employed 35 people.
“We are delighted to be in Westchester,” said Joe Macies, CEO of AmkaiSolutions. “We wanted to be in a more central location in the New York Metropolitan Area in order to attract top-notch talent as we continue to grow. Westchester has the highly skilled and educated workforce we need, and incredible access to an extensive healthcare marketplace throughout the region.”
