Dublin-based Fineos, a company that makes claims management software for the insurance industry, has announced plans to create 50 new jobs over the next 18 months.
The announcement was made by Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton at the opening of the firm's new headquarters at Eastpoint Business Park.
The new positions are being created as part of a new €9 million R&D investment programme to support further development of Fineos’s core insurance product suite, and to help increase new export business.
Fineos has more than 60 insurance carriers and government accident compensation agencies as customers with 6 of the top 20 group life and health insurance carriers using its software.
" We are delighted to announce these new positions in Dublin, which will be made up of research and development as well as professional services consulting positions to help our customers around the world," said chief executive and founder Michael Kelly.
Founded in 1993, the company currently employs about 450 people.
“Fineos is a great example of an Irish company, with a world-class product offering, performing strongly in highly competitive global markets and employing large numbers of high skilled people in Dublin. Today’s announcement is a great boost for Dublin,” said Mr Bruton.
