Ireland
EDS established a presence in Ireland in 1990 with the opening of the Ireland Solution Centre (IrSC) in Dublin, the first one to be created outside of the United States. This is part of a global network of development centres and provides cost-effective, quality systems engineering services for EDS operational units throughout Europe. By concentrating a broad range of hardware and software expertise in one location, the Solution Centre minimises duplication of specialised skills and enhances delivery effectiveness.
Operating as an extension of an EDS account, the IrSC supports the account team to meet current and prospective client requirements through offering a variety of services and skills such as:
- Application Design, Delivery and Implementation
- Project Management
- Migration Support
- Consultancy Systems
- Integration Hosted
- Billing Services
- Data Management Services
EDS also addresses the business requirements of clients in Ireland. While the initial focus has been on systems integration and consulting engagements, the growth in outsourced business process and information technology (IT) services has presented exciting new opportunities for EDS' global expertise.
In 2001 EDS acquired Memorex Telex Ltd. and together they now offer complementary solutions and services to Irish clients.
EDS employs approximately 400 staff in Ireland, mostly based in Dublin.
