eir evo Evolves With Support From Grofuse

An ambitious Northern Irish company has created a key piece of software for one of Ireland’s biggest ICT brands, all thanks to an opportunity to meet at an NI Chamber event.

Software specialists Grofuse Digital went on to develop a postcode broadband availability checker system for eir evo UK, the Northern Ireland subsidiary of the Ireland-wide eir group, after the companies were introduced at a Chamber event held late last year.

Both companies say the results of the impromptu meeting showcase the importance of NI Chamber participation for organisations of all sizes across NI.

Northern Ireland Regional Director for eir evo, Philip O’Meara, said the partnership between the two companies was mutually beneficial.

Mr O’Meara explained: “We were looking for a local Northern Ireland technology company to help us launch our new Giga-Fibre business broadband service with a user-friendly online ordering experience. Delivering great customer experience, via a smooth end-to-end customer journey is key for us and we wanted a platform to match our service excellence. Thanks to the Northern Ireland Chamber, we had the opportunity to meet Grofuse, learning about their expertise and ambitions and went on to form a relationship that helped both of us to grow stronger.

“We wanted to support local business as we believe it’s important for us to invest in Northern Ireland, not just in our network infrastructure and skills but also in partnering with local companies.”

Grofuse Digital Director and co-founder Denis Finnegan said: “Grofuse is a growing company with global ambitions, and Northern Ireland Chamber is helping us to achieve those ambitions by providing us with opportunities to get in front of companies of the calibre of eir evo.

“On this project we went all-out to deliver for one of Ireland’s largest companies after meeting them at a NI Chamber event, and it has been a huge success for both businesses.”
