A sign points to Lake Martin Innovation Center, the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce’s co-working space.

BIS, a data-processing technology company, has opened a new office in Alexander City's Lake Martin Innovation Center where one of its teams will be based.

Oklahoma City-based BIS is the company behind Grooper, an automation software that helps companies cut down on manual data entry. On Tuesday, BIS announced the move of its strategic alliances team, which works with partners that distribute the technology, to Alexander City. Until now, the small Alabama-based team had been entirely remote since the pandemic.
