Rainmaker Systems Inc. announced that it is expanding its UK-based Global Commerce Services operation to extend and strengthen its value-added services to enterprise customers. The Global Commerce Services expansion is part of an internal shift in corporate resources previously allocated to Rainmaker's Austin, Texas, facility, which the company expects to wind down within three months.

At the same time, Rainmaker is winding down its Austin, Texas, facility, which similarly employs approximately 60 employees. Some Austin employees are expected to transition to the company's Global Commerce Services operation. The shift in resources follows last week's announcement that all of the company's Austin-based finance operations were to migrate to Rainmaker's Silicon Valley headquarters in Campbell, CA, under incoming Chief Financial Officer Mallorie Burak.
