Ammeon, which has its headquarters in Dublin, is setting up a service delivery centre in Belfast.

The posts will have an average salary of over £50,000 and will generate an additional £3.5 million to the local economy.

The new posts will be recruited in 2019.

"The availability of software engineering talent combined with a cost-competitive environment and Invest NI support encouraged us to establish our service delivery centre in Northern Ireland."
