Pitney Bowes to open new Operations Centre in Dublin
Pitney Bowes has announced plans to open a new Operations Centre in Dublin that will house a three-year multi-million euro R&D project focused on developing a next generation e-commerce and payments platform for global brands. The new Operations Centre will comprise a Client Support Centre and Research & Design Centre, creating approximately 100 new jobs for technical support, customer support and e-commerce R&D professionals in the region over the next few years.
Pitney Bowes said that the platform being developed at the Dublin R&D Centre will “create opportunities for merchants to reach consumers around the world and expand into new markets at speed”.
The Client Support Centre will serve clients located in the UK, Ireland and Nordic regions.
Pitney Bowes’ investment in Dublin is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
Pitney Bowes already operates a Global Ecommerce centre in Dublin. The new Pitney Bowes Client Support Centre team will be located alongside their Global Ecommerce colleagues in Fitzwilliam Square West, Dublin.
In 2016 Ireland’s economy grew by 5.2%, outstripping all other Eurozone countries and nearly all official forecasts. A growing number of multinational companies are continuing to choose the region as a base for locating either their European hubs or regional customer support facilities.
