Provo-area software firm Fishbowl Solutions LLC has benefited from the talent emerging from the region's large universities and a tech-forward business community. Fishbowl added 15 employees last year, when it had the biggest revenue gain in its 20-year history. Its workforce now totals 195.
But the city has seen a shortage of workers. "There's a lot of output of tech professionals from the two universities nearby, but even with that, it's been a struggle to find enough development staff," said John David King, Fishbowl's chief executive. "We've done quite a bit of hiring, and some of those have been from out of state."
