Zendesk, a provider of a software-as-a-service system for help desk support for Twitter and other businesses, plans to relocate its corporate offices from Boston to San Francisco, Mass High Tech reported yesterday. Zendesk moved to the Hub from its original home in Denmark just four months ago, according to MHT, and the firm is relocating to the West Coast by the request of one of its venture backers, Menlo Park, CA-based Benchmark Capital, which led Zendesk’s $6 million Series B round revealed last month. Zendesk officials could not be reached by phone this morning to confirm the report.
