US-based software company, Invisors, has chosen Glasgow for its new European headquarters.

Invisors, a Workday Services Partner, provides initial development, optimisation, and ongoing support services in the UK, Ireland, Canada and the US for Workday’s full suite of products.

The suite of services include human capital management, financial management, adaptive planning, prism analytics, and extend.

After working with a number of local partner organisations, including Invest Glasgow, Scottish Development International (SDI) and Skills Development Scotland (SDS), the company has opened its new office on Queen Street in Scotland’s largest city.

Mark Hallan, Director of Global Investment at SDI, said: “Invisors is an innovative company enjoying rapid growth and it’s great news that the firm has chosen Glasgow to continue its global expansion.

“As part of our ‘Team Scotland’ approach to attracting inward investment, we’ve been pleased to work with our partners across the public sector to support Invisors with their decision to locate in Glasgow.  The company’s presence in Scotland has steadily grown since the opening of the Glasgow office, demonstrating the talented workforce that exists in the local area.”

Since its opening, Invisors has already hired approximately 20 employees across the UK, about half of whom are based in the Glasgow office.

As part of its development and expansion in Europe, the company is targeting incremental growth in employee numbers.

Matt Smith, EMEA Operations Lead at Invisors, said: “I’m based in the Glasgow area, so was pleased that our due diligence indicated that Glasgow would be a strong location for our plans. We have seen a lot of value so far in the local talent we have attracted and the support we have received from local partners.”

Recently, Invisor received partnership status from Workday to deliver Workday deployments in the UK and Ireland, after displaying their commitment to helping European companies migrate their HR and financial systems to Workday and provide ongoing support and optimisation once live.

“This is a fantastic recognition from Workday on the team we have built here in less than a year and outlines our commitment to Workday globally,” says Matt Lawrence, EMEA Commercial Lead at Invisors. “We are excited to work closely with Workday helping customers here in the United Kingdom and Ireland adopt the best-in-class applications for finance, HR, and more.”

Anne Murray, Inward Investment Manager at Invest Glasgow, said: “Invest Glasgow is excited to welcome Invisors to Glasgow and to be able to support the establishment of their first European office.  In choosing Glasgow, Invisors recognise the quality and availability of a world class talent pool and we are also delighted that they have earmarked Glasgow for the UK headquarters for their graduate scheme.
