Firm planning for rapid growth, increased demand for technology related to a hybrid workforce
Ultimate Technologies Group, an advanced commercial virtual collaboration and communication audio-visual technology company that services global enterprise and local clients, announced on Tuesday its growth plans that include adding up to 25 employees and relocation of its headquarters to Fishers.

“We have officially moved into our new home in the Fishers Technology Park,” said Ultimate Technologies Group President Will O’Brien. “The move back to Fishers is in part related to our significant expansion related to our focus on helping companies evolve their conference room and work from home technology to a new hybrid model that will result as some of their employees return to work and some decide to continue working from home.”
The impacts of a hybrid or all-virtual workforce are leading to this growth. Recently, Ultimate signed a contract with an Indiana-based manufacturer to provide communication technology in the clients’ 4,000 worldwide conference rooms. This growth will add about 25 jobs in Fishers by 2022.
“Ultimate Technologies is another success story we’re happy to share from Fishers,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. “Just a few years ago they were a new start-up company in Launch Fishers. The team that Will has assembled and the growth they will experience over the next several years is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit here in Fishers.”
“Ultimate Technologies Group is currently helping companies develop technology plans for the inevitable hybrid workforce that all companies will soon have,” according to O’Brien. “Prior to Covid, employers mostly had an office-based workforce. Right now, most of those employees are working remotely. Recent data from the Gensler Research Institute suggests that most employees (70 percent) want to be back in the office the majority of their week, while only 12 percent want to work from home full-time. Companies need help planning for the technology implications of having a hybrid workforce, where some employees are in the conference room, and others are working from home. Employees and customers expect a better experience now that they are power users of Microsoft Teams and Zoom.”
Ultimate Technologies will relocate to 12,000 square feet of space at 11793 Technology Lane in the Fishers Tech Park.
