HCS, an Irish IT, cybersecurity, and digital transformation services provider, has announced that it will invest €1.1 million to launch its new telecoms arm, HCS Telecom.
The new business unit aims to assist businesses in transitioning from legacy phone systems to cloud-based communications. According to HCS, the high demand for the service stems from the widespread adoption of hybrid working and the replacement of copper wiring with fiber.
“With this new division, we aim to address this challenge and enable more organizations to work from anywhere, safe in the knowledge that they are supported by a range of reliable and secure solutions,” said Mick Foley, Head of Telecom Solutions at HCS. “We have deep expertise in IT and telecoms, and we are leveraging our experience and skillsets to cement our offering for customers. HCS Telecom is a modern solution to a modern challenge and we look forward to helping our clients to continue to grow in an ever-evolving business landscape.”
HCS anticipates the new business to generate €1.3 million in revenue and employ eight people by the end of the year.
