100 jobs from €25m IBM investment

IBM yesterday announced a €25 million investment in its Irish software engineering division, which will create 100 jobs in Dublin, Cork and Galway.

The investment, backed by the IDA, will be over three years and will allow the engineers to focus on designing “enterprise cloud computing software”, software to better manage IT systems and databases that support business analysis.

“Today’s announcement highlights Ireland as an important place to help fulfil our global research, development and business strategy,” said Michael Daly, IBM Ireland general manager.
