Decision Time adds Government Departments to growing list of Irish Public Sector customers.

Decision Time’s growing list of public sector customers on the island of Ireland now includes several government departments.

The Department of Rural and Community Development and the Department of Social Protection in the Republic of Ireland and the Northern Ireland Civil Service, which has nine government departments as well as other non-ministerial departments and agencies, all now have access to our solutions.

Decision Time now has over 100 public sector bodies in Ireland using our products, having won every public sector tender for board meeting software in Ireland for the past two years.

Our contract with the Northern Ireland Civil Service was secured via the UK government G-Cloud framework agreement, whilst the contracts with the two government departments in the Republic of Ireland were tendered for separately.

Geoff Higgins, CEO of Decision Time, said: “Regulated organisations are complex, and governing them from board level is challenging. Organisations also know that the impact of ineffective corporate governance can be severe, with potential financial, service, reputational, and particularly in the case of the public sector, societal implications. So, demand for our software has been very strong in the past few years, something that the pandemic has only served to intensify.”

“The public sector in the Republic of Ireland is one of our fastest growing markets at present which I think reflects well on its public bodies. Corporate governance in Ireland has clearly moved forward dramatically in the last decade or so and is now a very high priority, which means better decision-making, better management, and better outcomes for society,” he adds.
