18 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.
