IT solutions provider Qualcom has announced plans to create 25 new employees in Dublin and Belfast by August 2014.
The new positions will be in the areas of engineering, professional services, IT consulting and sales and marketing. Thirteen of the roles are based in Dublin with the remained in Belfast.
The company is investing €1.75 million in this expansion, backed by Invest Northern Ireland and existing shareholders. It has already earned €500,000 in UK revenues since it commenced exporting this year, with particular successes in the financial services sector.
Qualcom provides IT infrastructure services to more than 200 enterprise customers in the public and private sectors.
It partners with some of the leading technology companies such as VMware, Citrix, Microsoft, EMC, IBM and HP. It provides managed and professional IT services including managed security, virtualisation, disaster recovery, communications, and data storage and back-up.
Ken Breen, managing director, Qualcom (pictured), said: “Whilst local market conditions have been somewhat challenging in recent times, we have had good growth in our managed services business in the last three years. This has been driven by enterprises looking to benefit from the more cost competitive shared IT managed service support of an outsourced partner, rather than staff in-house…
“Our international expansion is led by the more buoyant market in the UK and our need to continue to ensure we can provide the most competitive service possible to all customers by maximising the utilisation of our Dublin based network operations centre.
“We have just opened a shared operations and network operations centre in Dublin. Most administrative and remote support for UK customers will be based out of here, with on-premise sales and engineering visits provided via our Belfast offices. We expect to expand this proposition further when we announce the opening of an office in England next year.”
