The South Cork Enterpise Board this week honoured seven local IT Companies with Business Development Certificates for taking part in an eight month long IT Business Development Programme which finished last month.

Donagh Kiernan, Vice-Chairperson of IT@Cork, congratulated the South Cork Enterprise Board on the success of its inaugural IT Business Development Programme at an Awards Ceremony held at the Maryborough Hotel for the first seven IT companies to successfully complete the programme.

In his key note speech, Donagh Kiernan stated, "Ireland's technology sector benefits enormously by the 'IT Business Development Programme' and others like it. With continual development of the business leaders we will raise the skills, knowledge and aspirations of our tech business leaders".

The seven IT companies, who were presented with their awards by Joe Burke were Wayne Dunne, Managing Director, Asometric Managed Services, Rory Conlon, Managing Director, Advanced Laser Systems Ltd, Michael Kelsey, Managing Director, Business Software Solutions, Martin Hurley, Sales Manager, Gilroy Control Systems, Ray Neville, Managing Director, Neville SaaS Ltd, Larry Murphy, Managing Director, Sigtec Ltd and Tony Moore, Managing Director, TMC Technology Ltd.

The IT Business Development programme is funded by the Irish government and part-financed by the European Union under the National Development Plan 2007-2013. It consists of three one-day best practice workshops in sales, marketing and project management as well as one-to-one mentoring over an eight month period. Prior to acceptance as a participant in the programme each company was audited and given a written report to make absolutely sure that each would benefit from, and be proactive in, the programme.

The South Cork Enterprise Board is currently recruiting for the next IT Business Development Programme. A maximum of just eight participants will be allowed on this Programme. Due to the limited number of places, potential participants will be required to complete a detailed IT business audit before being considered for the programme.
