LANDesk establishes an International Financial Services Centre in Dublin creating new high quality jobs

The decision to locate in Dublin was based on a combination of a talented, multi-lingual workforce, a strong ICT and financial services cluster and the ability of Ireland to meet the needs of companies such as LANDesk seeking a hub for international operations. I would like to recognise the IDA and the Irish Government for their role in bringing this investment to fruition.
