Irish IT and security firm Climb Channel Solutions Ireland has opened a new HQ in Dublin.
The firm, which was previously known as DataSolutions, say the move is part of a wider plan to expand into Europe and even the Asia-Pacific market in the future.
The new office in South County Business Park can host launches, workshops and training sessions.
The firm has also launched a programme to help businesses take full advantage of the rapid progress in Artificial Intelligence.
The Skyward Project: Climb’s AI Partner Programme, is say the company a "six-step framework looking at AI enablement, collaboration, and real-world impact – from education and training to use case identification and go-to-market execution."
The programme also includes the introduction of the firm's Climb AI Academy to the Irish and UK markets.
The training initiative, already rolled out in Germany, helps partners to gain a foothold in booming markets.
And the company plans to host a series of virtual ‘Vendor Den’ events to help introduce and launch emerging technology vendors in Ireland.
The changes come after CCSI saw its gross billings in Q1 increase by 34% to $474m while gross profit increased by 37% to $23.4m when compared to the same time last year.
Last year the company enjoyed record breaking sales of $465.6m, a 32% increase on 2023, and a 51% increase in net income to $18.6m.
Brian Davis, VP of Sales UK & Ireland, Climb Channel Solutions, said: “For the group as a whole, 2024 was a standout year in terms of growth.
"It also marked a new chapter for the business in Ireland with the official rebrand to Climb Channel Solutions Ireland.
"Moving forward, we want to build on this and support vendors and partners as they navigate an ever-evolving market landscape.
"Our new HQ in Dublin and The Skyward Project, including the Climb AI Academy, all tie in with our aim to realise the immense potential of and innovate with emerging technologies.
“After all, that is ‘The Climb Way’ – an ethos which will underpin everything we do this year and beyond. It’s about demonstrating our commitment to data-driven distribution, prioritising speed to market, and putting people and partners first. It’s about leveraging new solutions, empowering resellers, and staying ahead of the curve.”
Emer Higgins TD, Minister of State for the Department of Public Expenditure,Emer Higgins, said: “The opening of this Dublin HQ not only signifies a new chapter for Climb Channel Solutions Ireland, but serves as the perfect example of a business which operates in an ever-changing industry.
"In keeping with the fast-evolving tech landscape, the team is embracing emerging technologies and building on its proven experience while also adapting its expertise and creating even more opportunities.”
