OTAVA, a U.S. provider of secured and compliant multi-cloud solutions, has officially relocated its corporate headquarters from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to Indianapolis, Indiana. The move marks a strategic shift for the company, aligning its operations more closely with a region that is fast gaining prominence as a hub for cloud computing, cybersecurity, data services, and artificial intelligence.
The decision reflects OTAVA’s long-term presence in Indianapolis and its growing integration within the city’s dynamic technology ecosystem. CEO TJ Houske noted that the relocation is both a logical progression and a springboard for future expansion. “We’ve had a significant presence here for many years, which provides us with a great starting point for forming new alliances, growing our network, and increasing our exposure on a regional and national level.” He also pointed to recent momentum from partnerships with Indianapolis-based companies like Scale Computing as further validation of the city’s importance in OTAVA’s strategic roadmap.
Originally founded over 30 years ago as Online Tech in Ann Arbor, OTAVA has evolved significantly, emerging as a modern cloud services provider focused on data protection, compliance, and resiliency. With operations spanning the United States and Europe, the company’s decision to center its headquarters in Indianapolis was influenced by multiple factors, including a robust local tech talent pool and active relationships with industry organizations such as the Indiana Chamber, TechPoint, and the Indiana Hospital Association.
Digital Innovation in the Midwest
The company already maintains a Tier 3 data center in downtown Indianapolis, serving a broad local customer base. With the move, OTAVA plans to expand its presence further, growing its headquarters office and consolidating key teams in technical operations, business development, marketing, and data center management. This will enable the company to strengthen ties with the community and deepen its commitment to the region.
TechPoint, a central voice for Indiana’s tech sector, welcomed the news. “We are thrilled to welcome OTAVA to Indianapolis, where they will continue to help shape the future of the digital innovation economy in the Midwest,” said Ting Gootee, president and CEO of TechPoint. “OTAVA provides vital cloud, data security, and protection services that businesses more than ever need.”
OTAVA’s service offerings include edge computing, advanced data security, and customized multi-cloud environments designed for scalability, compliance, and reliability. The company emphasizes a human-centered approach, tailoring solutions to the unique needs of each client while maintaining strict standards for data privacy and operational continuity. By repositioning its headquarters in a fast-growing tech corridor, OTAVA aims to enhance its role in driving secure digital transformation across sectors.
