“EastPoint Solutions are a certified Advanced IBM Software Partner in Ireland. Their management has a pedigree of software development in the Irish marketplace and a strong customer loyalty over the years. Their technical skill and professionalism is widely recognized in the IBM Technical community and they have been recognized as the thought leaders in mapping out the development and deployment of Cloud applications in Ireland. What EastPoint grasped early on was the fact that our customers would not simply deploy Cloud applications on their own, but as part of a rich environment that included in-house applications. Data and processes do not exist isolated in one environment or another. Data and metadata need to flow between environments and any process can span the customer internal or external infrastructures. The initial phase of any Cloud deployment may be a discrete application, but ultimately, and probably in a very short time-frame, clients need to integrate applications to derive maximum business value. EastPoint were the first Irish partner to elaborate this vision.  They are ahead of the game and well positioned to deliver value to our mutual customers.” Conor O’Leary, Go To Market Manager, IBM Software Group
