FileCloud is a SaaS provider with a hyper-secure content collaboration platform that empowers enterprises and governments across the world to facilitate their teams' file-sharing and data privacy requirements, both inside and outside their organisations.
It specialises in security and compliance, offering a highly versatile, scalable solution to suit enterprises across many different sectors. The platform is used daily by global enterprises in communications services, government, education, software, energy, and finance, among many others, in 90+ countries.
In 2022, FileCloud announced the establishment of its European headquarters in Limerick, a city that acts as a vital cultural and educational hub for the Mid-West region, and for Ireland as a whole. This is largely due to the superb quality of the academic and research landscape there, which plays a key role in the ongoing growth of industries such as IT and pharmaceuticals in the region.
FileCloud takes great pride in the opportunity to become a strong player in enriching the economic environment of Ireland's Mid-West through the provision of high-quality employment opportunities. As a company, FileCloud is also poised to benefit greatly from the excellent calibre of the graduates produced by educational institutions in the region, not least the University of Limerick and the Technological University of the Shannon.
The strong ties that have been nurtured over decades between industry and third-level education in the Mid-West were a major incentive in the decision to locate FileCloud's European offices in Limerick. Collaborations between industry and academic institutions are known to be a key factor in helping to drive advancements, foster innovation, and encourage business incubation. Such partnerships are also a massive contributing factor to maintaining and developing the dynamic economic and cultural landscape of the Mid-West region.
FileCloud's CEO, Ray Downes, is uniquely positioned to lead this initiative, as not only has he acquired a wealth of experience in leading the evolution of technology companies from niche stage to category leadership, but he also originally hails from Limerick, and was educated there. His deep familiarity with the Mid-West means he is highly aware of the rich talent and innovation occurring in educational institutions throughout the region.
Reflecting on FileCloud's presence and growth plans for the Mid-West, Ray Downes said: "I am very proud that we have more than doubled our global business over the last two years and the decision to base our European HQ from Ireland’s Mid-West has been integral to that achievement. We will accelerate the addition of highly skilled engineering talent who want to work with advanced technologies, such as real-time AI-driven cyber-attack detection and proactive countermeasures, as we develop the utmost security for our content collaboration platform customers."
FileCloud has made great strides in 2023, including in the area of customer recognition, making it an exciting company for any recent graduate to start and develop a career. Across the Gartner, G2, and Capterra websites in 2023, 96% of customer reviews of the FileCloud product were either four or five stars. Further evidence of this growing momentum is that FileCloud won 82 badges in the 2023 G2 website seasonal reports, 73% of which were Leader or High Performer badges.
It's a significant achievement that FileCloud's ongoing commitment to providing excellence in relation to its product offering and support services is being recongised so publicly and vocally by its customers. In 2023, FileCloud also achieved its ISO 9001 certification, further confirming its status as a company that provides a high-quality service to its customers.
FileCloud takes the pain out of compliance and data governance, offering flexible deployment options, including running a private cloud on an enterprise infrastructure. It has been designed to integrate easily with other SaaS platforms to provide a secure and seamless content collaboration platform. Among the customization options provided by FileCloud is the ability to maintain the company branding across all content collaboration activities, including running FileCloud on a company's own domain.
FileCloud offers great benefits to its team members, including flexibility, experience with cutting-edge technologies, a competitive benefits package, and a friendly overall working environment. The FileCloud team is now gearing up to attend career fairs at universities across the Mid-West in the hopes of snapping up some of the great talent that is on offer. FileCloud will be seeking team members for development, operations and support, R&D, sales and marketing, and administrative support.
With a CEO who has a history of growing companies in this region, as well as originating from Limerick himself, graduates seeking an exciting career in the technology sector cannot go far wrong with FileCloud!
