Selects Northeastern Pennsylvania as it will serve as the primary location for the firm's litigation-readiness business.

SECCAS LLC, an electronic communication compliance provider, today announced that it is opening a secondary data operations center.

According to SECCAS, the Scranton facility will serve as the primary location for the firm's litigation-readiness business. The partnership is supported by a $15 million Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

"Northeastern Pennsylvania is an ideal location for disaster-recovery facilities," said Daniel Summa, President of SECCAS. Mr. Summa noted that the region is served by a different power operator and watershed than the New York region, making it a safe, reliable location for a backup facility that can also provide real-time data replication.
   
"While northeastern Pennsylvania is already a flourishing region for the financial-services and insurance industries, we will further strengthen the high-skill job opportunities in the region in the coming years," said Catherine Bolton, Project Director at Wall Street West. "We're both pleased and proud that SECCAS sees the terrific value in the region and are working with other firms whose offsite data needs can best be served by the opportunities in our region. And this first Wall Street West success story shows what happens when regional partners -- the city of Scranton, the Scranton Plan, DCED, Penn's Northeast, and the Governor's action team - work together."
