Irish IT consulting and managed-services firm Arkphire has announced growth plans as it re-brands to Presidio.
Arkphire was bought last year by Presidio, a global digital services and solutions provider, and said it will now operate as a fully integrated part of Presidio's $3.1 billion business.
The Dublin-based business is now set to become Presidio's strategic hub for international expansion outside of the US, with particular emphasis also on growth in Europe and Asia Pacific.
Presidio has also today announced a recruitment drive to expand its current workforce of 317 in Dublin by over 10%.
The jobs expansion will see over 30 new positions created across all lines of business including its Apple practice, cybersecurity, cloud, digital workspace, networks, managed services and global IT Procurement.
Arkphire's UK and Singapore based offices are also set for further expansion under the new Presidio brand.
Paschal Naylor, co-founder of Arkphire, said the UK office is launching a new Cloud Services consultancy hub with its operations in Singapore enjoying exponential year-on-year growth and about to open a new office to accommodate an expanding local team in the areas of sales, marketing, procurement, warehousing, logistics and operations.
Bob Cagnazzi, chief executive of Presidio, said today's announcement is a positive step for the company, its people, customers and partners as its substantial presence in Dublin, London and Singapore provides a strategic hub and platform for Presidio as the business grows internationally.
"It marks a significant step in the integration process of our acquisition of Arkphire last year, allowing us to provide an even more compelling offering across the full spectrum of IT services and solutions, including digital infrastructure, cloud and cybersecurity," the CEO added.
