Leading Banking and Insurance applications company steps up UK expansion
Dublin; Monday 7th May 2001:Aspect Software, a leading provider of operational CRM applications for the European banking and insurance industry, today announced the creation of 80 new jobs, many of which will be centred in the London office. The employment expansion programme will take place over the next 24 months and follows the recently announced EUR 5 million investment supported by 3i and Enterprise Ireland (EI). The company will now expand by increasing staff numbers in the UK within their professional services, and sales and marketing teams.
Aspect Software’s operational CRM applications have improved the vital customer of some of the best known banks and insurers right across the European continent such as ING, Irish Life and Permanent, GMAC and Bank of Ireland. Aspect Software successfully combines extensive vertical market expertise with technological innovation and has made a significant difference to organisations seeking to automate those customer-centric operations - making those companies, in turn, both more responsive and competitive. Aspect Software has been officially recognised as one of Europe’s fastest growing companies. They were recently rated 13th in Deloitte and Touche's Fast50 survey of Irish companies, after posting growth rates of over 300 per cent over the past four years.
Gerry O'Connor, CEO at Aspect Software said: "This continued expansion into the UK market is a result of solid foundations, with strong growth in both revenues and profits. Over the next 24 months we will continue to structure the development of the company in a controlled phased basis introducing additional people when appropriate in order to continue to meet our strategic growth targets. We are seeking to recruit top quality people immediately to develop and deploy the next generation of our products. At the same time, we are looking for experienced and successful sales and marketing professionals to communicate our success and create further business opportunities across the European banking and insurance market-place."
Gerry O'Connor continued: "The 80 new recruits to the Aspect success story can be assured that they will be working for an innovative employer with a long-term vision and an experienced management team. This expansion is now the next phase for a company with an excellent track record and promising future."
