100 New Technology Jobs Announced For Dublin

Up to 100 new jobs are to be created in Dublin as part of a €16 million investment plan by technology consultant SoftwareONE.

SoftwareONE first entered Ireland in 2011 by opening an office in Mahon, Co. Cork.

The company is now expanding its Irish footprint with the opening of a new office in Blanchardstown, where the majority of the new positions will be based.

The firm has developed the PyraCloud Platform - a new innovative cloud platform which provides customers with choice, transparency and control of their digital transformation agendas and moves towards the cloud. PyraCloud analyses existing on-premise software spend, helps extract technical and business transformation drivers, monitors consumption of cloud services and enables businesses to move to the cloud in a controlled and transparent way.

Making the announcement today, 21 September, Jobs Minister Mary Mitchell O'Connor TD said: "Today's announcement that SoftwareONE is creating 100 new jobs is great news for the country. We are all aware that Cloud Computing is a huge growth area and this company is at the cutting edge of this exciting development. SoftwareONE's expansion builds on our success in developing a thriving software sector in Ireland over recent years following our investment in developing appropriate skills. All jobs created have a positive knock on effect for the wider community. I wish Mike Gersten and the team every success into the future."

Mike Gersten, SoftwareONE's Global Innovations and Platforms Officer, added: "This is a very exciting time in SoftwareONE's journey. We are a global leader when it comes to software licensing and now we have developed an innovative solution which offers seamless control of cloud solutions and services to our customers."
