An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD today opened a new 1,858sqm facility for I.T. Alliance Group in Park West, Dublin, which will be the firm’s new global headquarters, representing a €2 million investment that will see 75 new jobs created over the next three years.

Founded in 1997 and already employing more than 400 people, I.T. Alliance has become a major outsourcing partner for the likes of Microsoft, BT, IBM, Dell, HP and others.

"This announcement of 75 new jobs by I.T. Alliance Group is great news and contributes to the 3,000 private sector jobs being created every month," said An Taoiseach at the opening. "The expansion of this ambitious and innovative Irish technology company further enhances the country’s reputation as a ‘digital island’. It is an endorsement of our strengths in the digital sector and our talented and dedicated workforce. The Government’s top priority is creating jobs and getting our people back to work. Through our Action Plan for Jobs, we will continue to provide strong policy support for fast-growing sectors such as cloud computing and IT outsourcing."

Founder of the company and CEO, Philip Maguire, supported An Taoiseach’s comments, saying that it is a great time to be in the technology business in Ireland.

"The tech world is undergoing fundamental change globally and that creates opportunities," said Maguire. "While there is a shortage of IT skills worldwide, the Government is making strides to address the issue here. Combined with our indigenous creative skills I see no reason why Irish companies cannot create strong, dominant technology brands that compete internationally over the next decade, especially those in the emerging cloud sector."

Frank Ryan, CEO, Enterprise Ireland said that the agency had worked closely with I.T. Alliance in supporting its strategic investment and development to drive continued international growth.

"This is a highly ambitious and innovative company that has already won an impressive international client base. We look forward to continuing to work with and support I.T. Alliance," said Ryan.
