IRIS extends its legal portfolio into Ireland with acquisition of OPSIS
18th June 2008
IRIS Software Group, one of the UK’s leading and fastest growing Software Houses, has announced the acquisition of OPSIS Limited.
The OPSIS brand is well respected in the legal software market with consistently high satisfaction ratings for its products and the quality of its support services, evidenced by the Law Society’s annual Guide to Legal Software Suppliers.
Headquartered in Dublin, OPSIS is recognised as the number one provider of case management systems in Northern Ireland with a strong presence in the regional legal practice markets in the Republic of Ireland and in England and Wales.
The acquisition will enable IRIS to significantly extend its customer footprint in Ireland and at the same time, it marks a further step forward towards IRIS’ goal to provide the legal profession with the widest range of quality software products to suit every size and type of practice.
As IRIS Legal have done with GB Systems in Scotland, there are no plans to consolidate the product range within IRIS Legal and the business will continue to be run independently by its existing management team, who are remaining with the business.
The acquisition will provide OPSIS customers with the access to the resources and investment of a major software house that is committed to the continuous enhancement of its product and service offerings.
