Our Success
Version 1 was founded in 1996 by Managing Director Justin Keatinge and Director John Mullen. Through organic growth and key acquisitions (Prose Software in 2006 and PM Centrix in 2010) Version 1 has established itself as an organisation that can hold its own against the multinational players. This was recognised in 2010 through the IDC’s IT Trends and Expenditures in Ireland survey which, for the first time, identified Version 1 as the leading Irish company in the IT services market, and positioned us as a preferred supplier to larger organisations (500+ employees) and organisations in the Public Sector.
We were recently recognised as 'Company of the Year' at the 2011 ICT Excellence Awards, our Managing Director Justin Keatinge was shortlisted in the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2011 Programme. This year we were named 2011 Microsoft Country Partner of the Year, recognising our excellence in delivering customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.
