Continent 8 Technologies is to create 15 jobs at its new Dublin EMEA service operations centre, which was opened by Taoiseach Enda Kenny this morning.

Based in west Dublin, recruitment has already commenced for the first group of the 15 staff to be taken on, and the group is looking to fill positions in product and service development, technical support and customer support.
