New Ecora Cork base to create 60 new jobs
US software company Ecora Software has finalised discussions with IDA Ireland to locate its European Headquarters in Cork with 60 new jobs expected to be created in the Centre over the next five years.
Announcing the news, Tánaiste Mary Harney said the office was the first for the company outside of the US and will manage the software development, research, sales and marketing functions for the company in markets outside of the Americas.
“This investment by Ecora is an important addition to the range of quality international services locating in the Cork area”, the Tánaiste said. “Such quality services continue to add to the range of skilled employment being offered in the region and is further confirmation that Ireland continues to attract high quality investors."
The new HQ will drive the corporation’s expansion and growth in new markets across Ireland and the United Kingdom, initially, with eventual expansion into other regions as well. It will house the marketing, research & development, engineering and technical support functions.
The Centre will also allow the company to better target specific markets and offer higher levels of customer support and streamline services and sales levels to clients. As the company develops its Cork base Ecora plans to form strong linkages and relationships with the third level colleges in Cork to strengthen its R&D functions and tap into the world class skills and expertise there.
“We are truly excited and stimulated by this new chapter in our company history,” Alex Bakman, Ecora Software’s founder and CEO said. “Because of its location, and its talented and enthusiastic labour pool, Cork is an ideal location to launch and manage our European operations. Cork has knowledgeable workers with skills to grasp our products’ subtleties and communicate effectively with IT managers throughout the market.”
Ecora develops tools which automatically deploy software security patches, which are primarily used by companies to fight virus and hacker attacks on corporate networks. The firm also develops software that tracks and documents network configuration settings.
