“We keep people! When they sign on, they stay here!”?according to Frankie Basso, CEO of Systemware. They opened their business in 1981 and moved into Addison in May of 2007. As businesses today realize that amenities are key to retain and attract employees, this is nothing new to Systemware. Their 44 years of success is a result of this mantra and it shows when you visit their 1st class office facility. When asked why they chose Addison to be their forever home? Addison’s central location allows for both easier accessibility for their key employee’s commute and access to a strong educated workforce. Thank you, Frankie Basso and Kyle Newman for allowing us to visit and celebrate one of Addison’s tech Crown Jewels! Bruce ArfstenDavid G.Wayne Emerson, EDFPNancy CraigDavid Basso
