Southworks is a privately owned company headquartered in the UK. Founded in 2003, it employs approximately 210 individuals and focuses on IT services and IT consulting. The company specializes in delivering outsourced software development for start-ups, scale-ups, and enterprise customers, providing nearshore software development with up-front pricing, short-term contracts, and time zone affinity.
On June 30, 2026, Southworks' CTO Johnny Halife discussed the company's "Development on Demand" software engineering model, which integrates human judgment with state-of-the-art AI to build and deliver software. This follows developers presenting plans for The Gateway, the initial residential site plan for the SouthWorks project, to the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board on June 5. The 95-acre SouthWorks project aims to redevelop the former Emerson Power Transmission site into a mixed-use community in Ithaca, featuring four neighborhoods: The Gateway, The Hills, The Woods, and The Chainway.
