Pivotal To Create 130 New Jobs

Pivotal®, the company accelerating digital transformation for enterprises, has announced the creation of 130 new jobs and an investment of approximately €100 million in Ireland over the next five years.

Silicon Valley-head-quartered Pivotal is partially owned by EMC Corporation and VMware, Inc. with General Electric becoming an investor in May 2013.

The announcement is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.

Pivotal's investment marks a significant commitment to Ireland – one of the world’s most important technology hubs. The expansion by Pivotal is also an opportunity to further capitalise on the rapidly expanding talent pool of creative and digital expertise across the region, further expanding Pivotal’s presence in EMEA and supporting the local Irish economy.

Pivotal Labs, a business unit of Pivotal, has been credited with shaping the development culture of Silicon Valley’s most influential and valuable brands. Its agile software development approach brings start-up speeds, predictable software methodology, and iterative product development culture to Ireland's largest enterprises.

Over the next five years, the approximate €100 million investment includes a new Pivotal Labs office in Dublin and the expansion of the company’s current operations in Cork; resulting in recruitment for full-time software engineering, technical support, operational and general and administrative roles. Initially, Pivotal will be based at DogPatch Labs.
