Securing and Educating the Public Domain

Irish companies produce a wide range of sophisticated and reliable products to all levels of government institutions in various public markets around the world, including health, education, energy, and defense. These firms are particularly strong in providing security technologies in areas such as border and transit security, as well as data and information sharing. Irish companies have an early track record of excellence in exporting cutting-edge technologies in the fields of real-time data transmission, data quality and microwave technologies.

Through close collaboration with U.S. partners, via the extensive network of U.S. IT companies with European headquarters in Ireland, Irish companies have a history of delivering best-of-breed solutions that provide the needed security enhancements to meet modern-day challenges. In addition, Irish companies are simultaneously addressing the need to increase productivity and efficiency, lower costs and optimize outdated business processes.

Delivering World-class Technology

Homeland safety concerns are at the forefront of every nation’s agenda. Over the last 30 years, Ireland has tackled the threat of terrorism in Ireland, giving Irish companies a head-start in developing and implementing effective solutions. While abiding to strict data protection policies to ensure the privacy of citizens, Ireland is producing technology that raises the level of protection and information collaboration capabilities worldwide.

A pool of expert localization companies have developed in Ireland over the last 15 years, specializing in conveying complex “messages” formats that resonate with diverse target audiences. Ireland possesses one of the most innovative telecommunications industries in Europe with the second highest average revenue per user (ARPU) in the world after Japan. Many of the 3G and wireless technology companies are experts at enabling new security innovations such as real-time streaming of CCTV imagery to PDA devices and prisoner release notification to specific cell phone users.

As eLearning technology leaders, Irish companies provide a full spectrum of world-class offerings to government organizations. Evolving over a 20-year history, the Irish eLearning market has matured beyond its young and inexperienced competitors. Today’s Irish companies effectively combine infrastructure and content to provide end-users with the industry’s most accessible and compelling eLearning experiences available. Many government organizations are now adopting external eLearning solutions to educate and inform external audiences. For example, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently outsourced its mass instruction of new security officers to an Irish firm.

Forging Global Relationships

U.S. government agencies and institutions have a strong record of choosing Irish technologies. With deployments in locations such as San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Alphyra mPayments provides cashless payment technologies for parking, transport ticketing and congestion charging. Ireland’s eSpatial provides clients like the U.S. Census Bureau integrated spatial/mapping applications that consolidate all forms of spatial/map data and distribute the derived intelligence to users anywhere, on any device, connected or disconnected.

Used by public organizations such as St. Peters University Hospital in New Jersey, SoftCo’s Irish technologies provide document, workflow, compliance, and process management to streamline business practices by merging critical electronic and paper processes. Ireland’s KLAS designs and develops hardware accessories and software applications for organizations such as the U.S. Department of Defense and Inmarsat. Propylon creates award-winning enterprise software that cuts the cost, complexity and time-to-delivery of data and process integration projects spanning multiple organizations such as the different legislative organizations of the state of Pennsylvania.

Driving Tomorrow’s Innovation

Irish firms have the resources and credibility necessary to build effective, long-lasting relationships within the public sector and U.S. partner channels. With a strong record of innovation and high standards, the Irish software sector continues to offer excellent opportunities to U.S. VAR’s and System Integrators. These Irish software companies have a solid understanding of America’s public domain and QoS expectations, as well as an intimate knowledge of U.S. regulations, international law, and security clearances. By developing strategies to address the uniqueness of state and local marketplaces in the U.S., Irish companies help their U.S. customers win business and cater to their government organization clients at home and abroad.
