Data Dimensions to lay off 111 after government contract not renewed

JANESVILLE -- Data Dimensions has announced it intends to lay off more than 100 people at its two facilities in Janesville after a major government client did not renew a contract it held with the document and data management company.

According to a notice the company filed Friday through the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Data Dimensions is laying off 111 people at its locations at 423 Midland Road and 400 Midland Court.

In the notice, which also is addressed to the Janesville City Council, Data Dimensions CEO Jon Boumstein wrote that “Data Dimensions just recently received notification from its government client that its current contract with the business organization will not be renewed at this time, resulting in a sudden and substantial unforeseen loss of business.”

The layoffs and notice come after a preliminary warning Data Dimensions issued to the state’s workforce agency March 27 that the company was experiencing “unforeseen disruptions” in business that it said stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic.
