Cork firm to create 30 jobs in expansion

CORK-BASED media services firm Digisoft is expanding its operations and creating 30 jobs.

The company’s expansion will create jobs in research and development, as well as in sales and office management.

Digisoft provides applications and services for the global TV, media and entertainment markets.

It said its expansion is in response to the “explosion in demand” globally from customers for advanced converged multiscreen TV, on demand, and IP services across TV, mobile and web.

The head of research and development, Eoin Shanaghy, said that TV operators and service providers are facing complex challenges as they respond to the unprecedented demand for content and internet services across multiple devices.

“We are seeking suitably qualified people who are interested in working at the forefront of an industry that is evolving at a pace hitherto unseen in its 60-year history,” he said.

Founded in 2000, Digisoft has over 10 years of experience in the development of interactive TV applications for the television and digital set-top box market.

Pat Byrne of Enterprise Ireland said: “Digisoft has strong market traction as a provider of carrier class solutions to the IPTV and media and entertainment sectors. The company is actively engaged in R&D and is highly proactive in offering a top-quality service to its customer base.

“Enterprise Ireland congratulates them on this significant expansion and looks forward to working closely with the company on its growth plan.”

Digisoft has deployed its solutions with operators throughout the world including Russia, New Zealand, the US, Thailand, Australia and Europe, and is planning to expand its operations into other APAC regions and South America.
