The new building immerses developers in a space where they can focus on creating innovative dealership solutions
The Reynolds and Reynolds Company announced the construction of its three-story developer-focused building in Houston, Texas, is nearing completion. This new structure is designed to provide software developers the perfect environment to work, innovate, and ultimately serve dealership needs.
“At a time when the automotive industry is rapidly changing, innovation is key to dealers’ success,” said Chris Walsh, president of Reynolds. “We must continue to invest in the company’s assets and people to be the industry leader we are and that dealers deserve.”
To meet this demand, and in light of the growth and expansion the company has experienced over the last two years, Reynolds envisioned and constructed a facility dedicated to software development.
The new facility’s 376 offices, video conference room, and lab areas are all equipped with fiber optic cabling and other world-class amenities. This investment will significantly increase reliability, bandwidth, speed, and productivity.
“We’re creating an ideal workspace for the individual and further maximizing productivity with faster PCs and more drive space than developers currently have,” said Scott Barr, senior vice president of software development.
Maximizing efficiency is also reflected in the building itself. A low-profile raised floor has been installed in the state-of-the art video conference and lab areas, allowing for quick and easy reconfiguration from one large room to up to four individual rooms.
Finally, the building showcases a new lobby museum that tells Reynolds’ story of innovation, the company’s philosophy behind software development, and its history of building industry-leading products to help dealerships succeed at every level.
