Helpdesk / Application Support Analyst
Twenty years ago we started Advance Systems with the goal of becoming the premier provider of Time & Attendance software solutions to Ireland’s leading companies. With a combination of hard work, innovative software and talented professionals throughout the organization we were able to accomplish that goal, all the while developing and expanding our offerings and capabilities resulting in the total Workforce Management System that is our solution today.
A few years ago we set our sights on expanding into the US market, setting up an office in Boston, MA and making some key strategic hires to begin introducing Advance Systems to the US. The response from the marketplace has been outstanding showing us there is a real demand for our product and the quality service we provide – and now business is booming!
We still have a lot of work to do, but we are convinced that if we stay focused on our customers, keep innovating our product and continue to hire great people that the future for Advance Systems USA will be amazing.
