    16th November 2009: IT Force celebrates 5 Microsoft Gold Competencies and 10 years of Managed IT Services

    Your experience with IT should be flawless.  PCs switch on, emails go, software works, the printer is reliable – and most importantly, costs controlled.   You have the freedom to focus on your business.   Heading into 2010 where every part of the organisation is touched by technology, this has never been more resonant – the IT service provider is a critical part of the weaponry. 
       
    This was the vision held by IT Force, a home-grown company started in 1999 to provide Managed IT Services.   At this time, the concept of outsourcing key business functions was in its infancy.   IT Force’s role was to educate the market – the business advantages quickly shone through and IT Force has grown each year, today employing 42 people in their Dublin headquarters.
