Brendon Allen, director of software development at alarm.com, said downtown Lawrence has a chance to attract more satellite technology offices of big companies. He said downtown's unique environment and access to IT talent from KU's school of engineering can make a good business case for companies looking for satellite offices.
Alarm.com is a publicly traded company that has quietly opened an office in downtown Lawrence. It provides a lot of the technology that makes smart homes — remote control of everything from lights to door bells — possible. But I wonder if the company knows anything about smart offices. Its Lawrence office is located above an ice cream shop.
