Partnerships between industry, the Government and IDA Ireland, such as is the case with OpenText, demonstrate that these relationships deliver significant long-term benefits for areas like Cork, the economy, the companies themselves and their customers."
OpenText SVP of Worldwide Customer Service, James McGourlay said: "We are pleased to be partnering with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, and the Irish Development Agency, as we open our newest customer support centre in Cork. Cork met all of our requirements for expanding our business in the region: a strong talent pool, a growing technology ecosystem and supportive public partnership.
