FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) – An information technology and professional services company Tuesday announced plans to build a headquarters here.

Plans call for creating up to 400 jobs by 2021, according to a news release from the company, Knowledge Services, founded by Julie Bielawski, its CEO. It will invest more than $17 million to build and equip an 80,000-square-foot headquarters at 11001 USA Parkway. Groundbreaking is set for 2018, followed by a move into the space in 2019.

The company formed in 1994 employs 1,200 Hoosiers and more than 1,500 professionals across the United States, the release said. It is hiring web and mobile developers, program and compliance specialists, business development and marketing professionals and client service associates.
