Miami-Dade County and The Miami Heat have announced they have entered into a long-term partnership with Kaseya, the leading global provider of unified IT management and security software for managed services providers and IT professionals, making them “the Official IT Solutions Partner of the Miami HEAT.”
The deal is for a total of $117 million over a 17-year term. After a unanimous vote of approval by the Miami-Dade County Commission, the partners announced that the home of the Miami Heat will be known as the “Kaseya Center.”
“We are proud to close this deal with a locally based company for the first time in the history of the arena,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “Since Kaseya relocated its headquarters to Miami, it has demonstrated a real commitment to invest in our economy and our local talent by opening the door to the jobs of the future.
“This deal will not only allow us to continue investing in critical crime prevention programs, it will also strengthen our brand as a global, diverse and future-ready community,” the mayor added.
“The collapse of our previous partner caught everyone by surprise but, in conjunction with Miami-Dade County, we worked efficiently and incredibly quickly to fill our naming rights vacancy with Kaseya — a local, dynamic and growing company creating job opportunities for South Floridians,” said Eric Woolworth, president of The Heat Group’s Business Operations. “Kaseya is a perfect fit and we are incredibly proud to join forces with them.
“We are also gratified to play our part in keeping the county’s ‘Peace and Prosperity Plan’ in place. This deal wouldn’t have happened so swiftly but for the unprecedented teamwork and cooperation with Miami-Dade County. All credit goes to Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Chief Operations Officer Jimmy Morales, the County Attorney’s Office, Commissioner Keon Hardemon and the entire Board of County Commissioners,” Woolworth added.
“As a Miami-based company with approximately 5,000 employees, Kaseya is excited to partner with Miami-Dade County and the Miami Heat for the naming of one of our community’s iconic buildings,” said Fred Voccola, Kaseya CEO. “Miami is our home, and having Kaseya showcased globally as synonymous with Miami is something we’re very proud of and will provide significant value to our customers and employees.
“Miami-Dade County has provided so much opportunity for our company to grow and prosper. As we have grown into the global leader in IT and security management software, Miami has grown into the number one destination for technology companies around the world. We are so humbled and honored to have the opportunity for our name to be associated with our community for years to come.”
Kaseya, a leading global software company with its headquarters in Miami, delivers best-in-breed technologies that empower organizations to seamlessly manage IT infrastructure, secure networks, backup critical data, manage service operations, and grow their businesses. The company has 48,000 customers in more than 25 countries, and approximately 4,500 employees.
