NI Technology company moves to new European HQ
The Data Warehousing Practice [TDWP] has opened its new 4000 square foot premises in the University of Ulster Science Research Park in Derry.
The company, a provider of data warehousing and web integration services and solutions, has moved from the Technology and Software Innovation Centre [TSIC] in UU Magee campus. It began there in 1999 with 3 people and its new offices will accommodate the current team of 30 people. Mark Durkan, MLA, Deputy First Minister officiated at the launch.
TDWP has expanded its software development and sales teams over the past month, and will be continuing the recruitment drive for staff who will be located in the new premises.
The company's product suite delivers data warehousing solutions, the creation of intelligent data stores and transactional outsourcing solutions via Commex, its business integration platform. In January TDWP announced a major new contract worth £250,000 (€403,000) with NEC Computers International [NEC CI], a Netherlands based company and subsidiary of NEC Corporation in Japan.
John Cowper, Managing Director commented on the company's expansion "Indigenous technology companies from Northern Ireland are making significant footprints on the international market. This is being pioneered by the entrepreneurial spirit, which is prevalent in the technology community at present, coupled with a highly educated workforce."
Chris Barnett, Director for Science and Technology Innovation, Ulster University said: "We are delighted that TDWP, one of the first graduate companies from the TSIC has decided to locate to the Science Research Park, Magee".
"The clustering of companies such as TDWP on the University of Ulster Science Park will provide significant opportunities for job and wealth creation within the region and establish the City and Northern Ireland as an internationally recognised ICT cluster."
