A German software company is creating 30 jobs in an expansion of its R&D centre in Derry, it was announced today.
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster welcomed the expansion by InVision Software during a visit to the company.
It said 10 of the new staff for the high quality software development, customer support and documentation posts had already been recruited and the remaining 20 would follow.
The minister said: “InVision is precisely the type of innovative company that we are targeting for investment and reinvestment, with its specialised development activities in the IT sector and its commitment to providing high quality career opportunities.”
Mrs Foster added: “InVision’s long term plans to further expand its R&D centre here are yet another welcome boost to our work in developing a strong knowledge based economy.
InVision is an international provider of enterprise-wide workforce management software solutions.
Its operations director Stephen Williams said: “We are delighted to be able to continue our successful co-operation with Invest Northern Ireland.
He said the strong performance of the centre, combined with a sound skills base and Invest NI support made it an appropriate location for InVision’s R&D operations.
Invest NI offered £251,000 in financial support to the expansion.
