The company is creating up to 15 new jobs by 2019.The positions include high-tech, high-wage positions, such as database administrators and developers, along with sales professionals and administrative staff.

“Tampa’s technology industry has been generating buzz around the country, and prompted us to look at this market as a serious contender for our headquarters relocation,” said Doug Sullinger, president of Vendita. “The talent pool, lifestyle, and cost of living here is extremely favorable, and the business climate really won us over. We look forward to an exciting and successful future for our company in Tampa.”
