Hear from some of our own people on what makes Version 1 one of the Best Workplaces in Tech in Ireland.

Lokesh Shanbhag, Oracle Applications Consultant"Oracle Cloud migration is one of the complex project's anyone could work on within technology space but with the help of MAXIMISE DATA MIGRATION toolkit we have smoothly on-boarded our Oracle customers to Cloud. It was my pleasure to serve multiple roles in a single project ranging from SQL developer to Solutions Architect.
The technology stack used for ETL pipeline showcases the benefits of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud) and Oracle Fusion. In a nutshell, MAXIMISE is a perfect blend of Oracle IAAS, PAAS and SAAS offerings and hence it was an all-rounder experience for me. Coming as a Graduate in April 2019 and serving more than 5 roles within 2 years of my career was not possible without Version 1." -
Karen O’Brien, Technical Project Manager"Version 1 offers opportunities to work on a myriad of different projects and initiatives. In the last 6 months alone, we have delivered solutions to insurance, healthcare, and banking industries. Quality and best practice is a priority in Version 1, and we regularly conduct well-architected reviews for all clients.
Within Version the depth and breadth of experience and our high level of expertise regularly results in clients requesting additional services and expanding engagements. This is also bolstered by our reputation for consistent and reliable delivery." -
Eoin Maher, Business Analyst"Version 1 has been continuously growing year on year and with this growth, there have been many exciting opportunities, projects, and technologies to work with. Personally, I started out in the ERP practice where I worked on an Oracle upgrade project and I also worked in the managed services side of the practice supporting multiple clients with their Oracle financials. After a couple of years, I requested a role rotation to become a business analyst in the Digital and Cloud Solutions practice. This is my current role where I am working on a large digital transformation project for a client, helping them to transform their customer journeys.
Having the opportunity to work with multiple customers across different industries and to work in different roles on exciting projects is what makes Version 1 a GPTW as it provides employees with the opportunity to accelerate their career development at all levels." -
John Bolger, Head of Innovation Labs"Our new digital accelerators team, DAPx, represents a real commitment to our Excellence core value and shows how committed we are to our Customer First philosophy. This team gives us the opportunity to develop best of breed solutions our delivery teams can use to exceed the expectations of our customers and I'm blown away by the depth of the expertise of our colleagues we've discovered so far through our engagements."
