Ipswitch will establish an EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa) support and operations center in Galway, Ireland, expecting to create about 60 jobs over five years.
Ipswitch’s new office opening is a critical part of the company’s growth strategy in EMEA. Ipswitch is establishing research and development, sales and technical support teams to help better serve local customers and grow market share in the region. Ipswitch will also locate R&D and product development teams in Galway to provide capability specific to the EMEA region. The move will enable Ipswitch to greatly increase its support for its channel partners and customers across Europe in local languages and time zones.
The development is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation through IDA Ireland. The privately owned company which has its headquarters in Lexington, Massachusetts, employs over 300 people in offices in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America.
The company’s software has been installed on more than 150,000 networks in 168 countries, with customers including Hamleys, NHS Wales, Cambridgeshire County Council and Community Integrated Care. Ipswitch already has Research & Development centres in Germany, in Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia as well as in Madison, Wisconsin.
Ipswitch IT Management software provides secure control over business transactions, applications and infrastructure. The vendor’s unified infrastructure and applications monitoring software provides end-to-end insight, and is staggeringly flexible and simple to deploy. Its information security and managed file transfer solutions enable secure, automated and compliant business transactions and file transfers for millions of users
