I-many moves HQ to Philly

I-many, the contract management software firm recently acquired by Philly's LLR Partners, has apparently moved its headquarters to Center City. The company was previously headquartered in Edison, NJ.
A message on I-many's website says:


"I-many is pleased to announce the opening of its new world-wide corporate headquarters and Center of Excellence (COE).
1735 Market Street | 37th Floor | Philadelphia, PA 19103 | Phone 215.344.1900 | Fax 215.344.1919"

More info from the CoStar Group.

LLR completed the acquisition of I-many, formerly a publicly traded company, in June for $55 million.
