Siemens attributes the success of its Irish operations to its competitive cost offering and its ability to hire people of the appropriate skills sets. The company recently secured a multi-million euro deal in the face of stiff international competition, to provide IT help desk services to a major multinational in nine languages in 34 countries.

According to Siemens Ireland, CEO, Dr. Werner Kruckow: “Our Cork office’s ability to deliver a competitive efficient service, combined with a highly qualified workforce were key factors in securing the contract. It also illustrates Siemens’ commitment to Ireland and the importance of our Irish operations and local skills sets within Siemens globally.” Malte Gloth, Division Manager of Siemens IT Solutions & Services Ireland, adds “This deal is a significant cornerstone regarding our growth strategy for Siemens IT Solutions & Services in Ireland. There are further interesting opportunities within the Irish market, both public and private and we anticipate further growth for our business.”
