The Cloud Computing company has announced plans to create add 100 new jobs to its Dublin operations to cater to growing demand.

The IDA-backed company has been based in the estate since 2000, and its local operations  - in sales, support and customer service - form its main European hub for commercial sales and support to over 20,000 customers across the continent.

The company's regional chairman Steve Garnett said Ireland had played a key role in the company's success, and said it was "delighted to be able to expand our reach in the region through the creation of an additional 100 jobs".

The expansion was announced by Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton.

"The Government is targeting high-growth companies and high-growth sectors as part of our action plan for jobs. Today's very welcome announcement that salesforce.com, a dynamic company operating at the cutting edge of social, mobile and cloud computing, is creating 100 additional jobs in Dublin shows what is possible in these sectors," he said, adding he would ensure that the country continues to take advantage of its ICT strengths to continue to attract investment.

The company will hold a recruitment event at the Morrisson Hotel in Dublin on 5th July.
