Call for courses to meet US needs
Senior American banking executives have told the head of Business Information Systems (BIS) at UCC, Professor Ciaran Murphy, that they want to outsource a large volume of systems modernisation work, but cannot find appropriate overseas partners.
Prof Murphy has developed a customised post-grad programme and informed the relevant Irish agencies, but is afraid the opportunity will be lost unless the State responds quickly. US banking group State Street has already outsourced thousands of these systems modernisation roles, and others are also set to make similar moves.
