Sage Group expands in Dublin
Sage Group, the largest software company in the UK, is to establish an International Localisation Centre and European Data Centre at its existing operation in Ballsbridge, Dublin, with the support of IDA Ireland.
The expansion will create 40 high quality jobs, over 80 per cent requiring third level qualifications in software, engineering, localisation and IT networking.
The Sage Group is a leading international supplier of business management solutions. It develops and distributes a full range of accountancy, payroll, customer relationship management (CRM) software and business management products and services for businesses and practice management solutions for accountants.
The Sage Group has two subsidiaries in Dublin: Sage Ireland, at Citywest, which develops, markets and supports products and services for Irish customers and employs 200 people; and Sage Technologies, at Ballsbridge, which develops CRM software applications and employs 40 people.
The new localisation centre will serve customers in Europe and the US, while the European Data Centre will be a disaster recovery site and will host mission critical IT infrastructure for its US and European subsidiaries. The data centre will also host current and future Sage web based applications such as Sage CRM, Coretime and Line 50.
Liam Mullaney, Managing Director at Sage Ireland, said: “Due to our increasing requirement for innovative products and solutions and our positive experience with our existing Irish operations we have decided to expand our facility in Dublin. The other major influence on our decision was the availability of people with the key skills and the advanced technical knowledge that we require. This expansion will play a strategic role in the company’s development of its global markets and is a testament to Ireland’s highly attractive business environment. It is the ideal base to provide for the growing demand for our CRM products and services.”
