Avalution Consulting opens European headquarters in Dublin

International IT company Avalution Consulting has opened its European headquarters in Ireland.

The group, which specialises in business continuity and IT disaster recovery, was founded by Brian Zawada and Robert Giffin in 2005.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, its expansion in Dublin will involve a team of more than 30 consultants, as well as its Catalyst software team that services clients globally.

Mr Zawada said the company was “delighted” to select Ireland for its European base.
