Version 1 Awarded Five-Year Infrastructure Management Contract<\/p>\n

\n

Version 1 announced a multi-million euro managed services agreement with Irish Continental Group (ICG)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The contract will see Version 1 assume full management responsibility for the shipping and transport group’s business-critical IT infrastructure over a five-year period, helping support the systems that underpin ICG’s operational and commercial activities.<\/p>\n

Supporting a Mission-Critical Transport Business<\/h5>\n

Irish Continental Group is one of Ireland’s leading shipping, transport and logistics organisations, providing passenger, freight and shipping services between Ireland, the United Kingdom and continental Europe.<\/p>\n

The agreement extends Version 1’s relationship with ICG and broadens its responsibilities to include the management, transformation and optimisation of the infrastructure supporting the organisation’s key revenue-generating and operational systems.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the agreement, Seamus McCarville, Head of IT at Irish Continental Group<\/strong>, said:<\/p>\n

“Our mission at ICG is to deliver a reliable, timely and high-quality customer experience.<\/p>\n

Our IT organisation is more important than ever in enabling that mission as we continue to pursue operational excellence and innovation.<\/p>\n

This contract enhances and extends our trust in Version 1 into the management and transformation of the infrastructure that supports our core operational and revenue-generating systems.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Driving Continuous Improvement and Transformation<\/h5>\n

The agreement also introduces a structured framework for ongoing service improvement and infrastructure transformation.<\/p>\n

Brendan McGettrick, Head of Commercial Sector at Version 1<\/strong>, commented:<\/p>\n

“This agreement not only extends the scope of our responsibilities to the infrastructure tier at ICG, but also creates a measurable mechanism for the continual transformation of systems and operational processes across the organisation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to have been awarded this contract and look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Irish Continental Group over the next five years.<\/p>\n

This new agreement reflects the significant growth we are experiencing within our Infrastructure Management and Cloud Consulting practices.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Strengthening Version 1’s Managed Services Business<\/h5>\n

The contract represented another significant milestone for Version 1’s growing managed services and cloud consulting operations.<\/p>\n

By taking responsibility for mission-critical infrastructure environments, Version 1 continues to help organisations improve service reliability, modernise technology platforms and optimise operational performance through strategic managed services partnerships.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
