An Austin, Texas-based cloud, emergency medical services software and billing solutions company's decision to establish operations in Spartanburg County was pretty much a no-brainer, the company's CEO said in a recent news release from Gov. Henry McMaster's office.

MP Cloud Technologies/EMTech did have other options, CEO Rob Rodrigues said in the Nov. 17 governor's office release, but Spartanburg emerged as the top choice for his company.

"Working with the team in Spartanburg has been tremendous," Rodrigues said. "We looked at a half-dozen cities across the southeast and nothing came close to what Spartanburg could offer when it comes to talent, teamwork, support and opportunities for growth."

MP Cloud Technologies/EMTech will invest $500,000 to locate a presence at Spartanburg Community College’s downtown campus and create 24 new jobs. Operations are expected to begin later this month. 

Health care claims specialists are expected to make up most of the Spartanburg location workforce with supporting finance, human resources and administrative functions as well.

"The collaborative nature of Spartanburg absolutely helps us bring new economic development here," Spartanburg County Councilman and Economic Development Committee Chairman David Britt said in the governor's office release. "This investment by MP Cloud Technologies/EMTech is evidence of that, and further solidifies our efforts to diversify Spartanburg’s workforce and bring knowledge-based jobs downtown."

MP Cloud Technologies/EMTech provides cloud-based software solutions and revenue cycle management to hundreds of private and municipal emergency medical services providers across the nation.

In its new Spartanburg location, the company will be providing revenue cycle management services to more than 100 emergency medical services agencies.
