According to Aidan Brogan, CEO, Datalex and an EPAM customer for 14 years, “EPAM is an important development and innovation partner for Datalex, as a global provider of digital commerce software for travel retail. The recent opening of the EPAM Dublin office will further support our engagement into the future.”   

With the continued growth of a significant client base in Ireland, EPAM is expanding its local team to further strengthen existing relationships with local customers and grow the business.

“I don’t think there has been a more exciting time to be a part of the business and experience the digital transformation and innovation wave,” said Martin Byrne, Ireland Country Manager, EPAM. “We look forward to recruiting top local talent and building a strong team here to complement our offices around the world and offer our local customers more personalized service.”

The location, at Alexandra House, Ballsbridge Park, will include business functions for sales and operations and support current and prospective EPAM customers in Ireland, as well as the broader EU.
