The information technology sector isn’t just about computer chips these days. It includes services such as software development, networking technologies, web-based services, educational technologies and telecommunications products. Utilized by private small businesses, large corporations and government entities, information technology is growing and thriving in our state. Metro New Mexico provides an environment that offers financial incentives, communication networks, a highly-skilled workforce and easy access to innovative technology. Wellkeeper, a developer of remote monitoring solutions for oil and gas operators, chose Albuquerque for its headquarters because of these offerings. Some of the top employers in this sector include Abba Technologies, MIMICS Financial Software, New Mexico Software, Professional Innovations Inc., and QinetiQ North America. Other companies are focused in informatics, data mining, graphics animation, geospatial information, and environmental software. Despite a wide array of well-established business, there are plenty of services and opportunities to help support growth in this sector.
