Digital firm SoftwareOne announces 100 Irish jobs and €16m investment

SoftwareOne set up an office in Mahon in County Cork in 2011, and the majority of the new roles will be based there.

The company provides consultative advice for corporates on the latest digital trends and had revenues in excess of $5bn last year.

SoftwareOne is seeking to hire front end developers, test engineers, user experience experts, as well as HR professionals as part of its Irish expansion.

The firm also announced the launch of Pyracloud, a new cloud based platform which will allow companies analyse on premise software spends and will assist in extracting technical and business drivers.

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

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell O’ Connor said: “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 wider skills.”

SoftwareONE is headquartered in Switzerland and operates in 82 countries around the globe. The firm currently has around 25,000 clients, along with a global workforce of 3,000.
