Dublin headquartered IT Services firm Version 1 today announces a new corporate identity. The refreshed brand consists of a modernised visual identity which incorporates what is unique in how Version 1 has delivered services and solutions to customers over the last 20 years. A new triangular mark represents Strength in Balance <\/em>and the company’s unwavering commitment to a balanced approach to delivering on three commitments: making a real difference for customers, building an empowering culture for employees and growing a strong organisation for the future.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the brand refresh, Version 1 CEO Tom O’Connor said “Usually a \u2018rebrand\u2019 or \u2018relaunch\u2019 implies something has gone wrong, that a company needs to change in order to differentiate their brand. This isn\u2019t the case for Version 1, we are not \u2018rebranding\u2019 and we don\u2019t intend to change anything about ourselves. I firmly believe we have built something special in Version 1, a uniqueness based on a Version 1 way of doing things that helps differentiate us. Most services companies struggle to answer the question \u2018what\u2019s unique about you\u2019, we don\u2019t, and I believe we have truly created something special over the past twenty years and our brand refresh has been focused on reflecting what has made us great to date.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Version 1 specialises in Enterprise Resource Planning, Digital Services and Enterprise Cloud solutions which transform the way their customers do business and address the core challenges of their day-to-day operations. Their global technology partners include\u00a0Microsoft, Amazon Web Services and Oracle<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Version 1 CEO Tom O\u2019Connor describes the business as \u2018\u2019the glue that holds the economy together, managing huge numbers of day-to-day interactions such as providing insurance quotes, handling EU payments to farmers and processing motor tax payments. We develop systems that allow these kinds of processes to happen quickly and accurately\u2019\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The refreshed corporate identity comes as\u00a0Version 1 continues to expand in the UK and Europe<\/a><\/strong> following rapid growth over the past five years. In April 2017, Version 1 announced the appointment of Tom O’Connor as CEO and the creation of 365 jobs over three years<\/a><\/strong>. Version 1 recently announced its 1000th employee<\/a><\/strong> and has established a new Midlands UK headquarters in Redditch. \u00a0With offices in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Edinburgh, Manchester and London, revenues in 2017 exceeded \u20ac100m.<\/p>\n

The company has expanded rapidly through organic and acquisitive growth since 2014, acquiring several large companies to expand its market share in the UK. It acquired the\u00a0Rocela Group in January<\/strong> 2014<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0Patech Solutions in November 2014<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0BMS Software in October 2016.<\/a><\/strong> Version 1 is currently targeting more substantial acquisitions in the UK while also looking to the European market.\u00a0 Version 1\u2019s growth is driven by a \u20ac90m investment<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by London-based investment firm Volpi Capital in April 2017.<\/p>\n
