150 Jobs Announced For Dublin

150 jobs have been announced for Dublin through the establishment of a Managed Services Centre in the city by Calypso Technology.

The new Managed Services Centre will be the basis of a new professional service model. The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.

Clypso is recruiting in areas such as business, technical analysis, quality assurance and application support.

jobs Minister Richard Bruton, who met Calypso executives on a recent investment mission to USA, said: "Calypso is a global leader in financial services technology, and today’s announcement that it is establishing a managed services centre in Dublin with the creation of 150 new jobs is a great boost. Financial services is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and we have put in place a range of measures to support jobs growth in this area, including most recently the appointment of a Minister of State with specific responsibility in this area. I wish Calypso every success with this operation and look forward to working with them in the future.

"We are very excited to be working with IDA Ireland and the Irish government in launching this strategic initiative," said Keith O’Brien, SVP-Professional Services at Calypso. "Through this Centre, Calypso will proactively address a major challenge of global financial institutions face: to reduce the total cost of ownership of their trading, risk and settlement solutions – from deployment to their day-to-day operations."
