US software developer CGM LLC is to establish a software development centre in Waterford, creating 10 jobs.

CGM was introduced to Ireland by ‘registered connector’ Neil Doherty through ConnectIreland, the company responsible for delivering the Government’s Succeed in Ireland initiative, as part of the Action Plan for Jobs in association with IDA Ireland. Doherty now stands to make €15,000 under Connect Ireland for introducing the company to Ireland.

The new operation will be based in Arc Labs, and will focus on quality assurance, testing and support development activities for CGM’s online enrolment and auditing systems.

“CGM has been developing software in Europe for several years now, and when the need arose to open an additional centre, Ireland, and Waterford in particular, seemed the best fit for our company for technical, business, and cultural reasons. We are very excited to get started in Waterford,” said co-founder Kevin Murphy.

Joanna Murphy, CEO of ConnectIreland, said: “CGM has a strong focus on technology, innovation and product development and it is great to see that they recognise the value of locating in Waterford, where there is a wide talent pool and available network of skilled workers. This is another great regional win for the Succeed in Ireland initiative.”
