Citrix Systems Ireland, the headquarters of the Customer Technical Support for Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA), announced today that it is increasing its workforce by over 20 full time employees.

Over the last three years the company has grown steadily and is positioning itself to continue being best of breed in the Technical Support area by working closely with customers to add value and by employing the best talent available. In 2007 Citrix Customer Technical Support employed almost 70 people. Since then the total headcount figure has risen year on year with this next hiring round increasing the number to close to 120 in a variety of roles within the company.

John Kelly, Director of Technical Support, EMEA, said at the announcement today that, "because of the rate of adoption of Citrix' products, including server and desktop virtualisation technologies, as well as Citrix' rapid growth in the networking market, the services side of the business also continues to grow. To support the overall business we have to scale up our operation, not just in the traditional Technical Support areas, but significantly in engineering. In fact the Irish operation now has approval to expand its activities into software engineering areas such as code modification in support of delivering solutions to our customers. These activities require a higher level of technical skills and add increased value for our EMEA customers as it will enable us to solve any problems faster, as well as providing exciting career opportunities for our Technical Engineers."
