Exigent Networks, Irish Telecom and Netforce unite under new Paradyn brand in €250K investment

Paradyn is Ireland’s first end-to-end, managed IT, security, networking and business connectivity offering.

Investment includes rebrand, new customer and business operations systems as well as staff integration and training.

The move enables the company to accelerate ambitious growth plans.

Dublin, 15th March 2018 — Exigent Networks, Irish Telecom and Netforce announce that they are officially combining with immediate effect into one united technology group under the new Paradyn brand. This combination creates Ireland’s first integrated group of managed IT, security, network and business connectivity providers. Paradyn brings together the management of 30,000 users in 300 active business and public sector customers.

Today’s news follows Exigent Networks’ October 2016 acquisition of Netforce, the managed IT services provider, and includes a full merger of Exigent Networks and its sister company, Irish Telecom. The newly integrated Paradyn group employs 40 people between Cork and Dublin offices and is now able to offer customers a single source for all on-site and intra-site IT and communications systems.

The company is investing €250,000 in the rebrand and in new customer and business operations systems, including service management, customer relationship management and document management to allow the three teams to work effectively as one. The investment also includes staff integration and cross-training to ensure that first line engineers can deal with all IT and communications service requests.

Cillian McCarthy, Paradyn’s chief executive officer comments: “By merging these three standalone businesses under a single brand, we have a larger customer base, greater expertise and a stronger position for expansion in the Irish and UK markets. We can concentrate marketing resources into promoting one brand and achieve synergies by deepening the great customer relationships that our businesses have. The back-office integration has already happened so that today’s customer facing switch-on will be seamless.”

Paradyn’s vision is to make life easy for customers in the increasingly complex world of technology and this unification of three companies makes sense for customers, as McCarthy explains, “Think of the complexity of managing desktop PCs and servers in a multi-site organisation; with cloud services; back-ups and security; Office 365; broadband connectivity; and unified communications systems. We bring all of this together in a properly thought-out and more secure end-to-end solution.”

Paradyn’s engineers can monitor all aspects of a customer’s infrastructure from its operations centre, enabling fast resolution times and ensuring that it can meet its 90% first-call fix promise. The service also means that customers’ employees are spending less time on IT management which improves system uptime and enables economies of scale for its clients.

McCarthy continued, “We pride ourselves on the relationships we have built with clients and our 98% customer retention rate is testament to this. Although we have a new name, I want to reassure our customers that they can expect an even better level of seamless customer support, while also being able to access the additional end-to-end services and even better technical expertise that we now offer.”

About Our Rebrand

Quick facts about the rebrand

We are Paradyn

Our Name, colours and Logo have changed, apart from that we’re still the same people that you have always known and loved!
Our dedication to our clients has remained unchanged and they are still at the core of everything we do.

Why the rebrand?

Exigent Networks was founded in May 2007 by Cillian McCarthy, Paul Casey and Rob Norton who all had previous experience in the technology industry. With Exigent Networks already established as a leader in the field of Wireless Networking, just three years later in 2010 Irish Telecom was founded by the same Directors. Irish Telecom became rapidly recognised as a National provider of high quality wireless and fibre broadband. With both companies growing and developing from strength to strength in 2016 an opportunity arose to acquire Netforce. Netforce had made a name in the Irish market by providing sensible, sustainable IT services, solutions and support to SMEs. Since 2000, the company has been an early adopter of innovative solutions. The next natural step in this progress was a rebrand uniting all three successful companies into one End–to–End full ICT provider.

What will change?

The structure of the company as well as current management, contracts and service agreements will not be altered.
