The announcement came during the Grand Opening event celebrating their new 65,000 square-foot corporate headquarters. “San Diego’s highly-skilled workforce, global reach and world-renowned quality of life make it an ideal launchpad for innovative start-ups and tech companies like AbacusNext,” said Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer. “Congratulations to AbacusNext for choosing to expand here in America’s Finest City. We look forward to the new headquarters spurring more local jobs and contributing to your continued success.” In the last year AbacusNext has expanded globally, more than doubling its staff and diversifying its product offerings to become the most complete technology provider to the professional services industry.
