@hostinireland
Important to remember the Human element of everything we do, whilst brands and logos dominate the presentation, ultimately 14 Men and Woman decided thatIt was appropriate and correct to put aside their own short term thinking, balance sheets and do the Harder thing and Say Yes, for every 1 that said yes to us 7 said NO.
3 of the 4 things I love most are 1) Ireland
2) The power of the collective and
3) Digital Content
And more to the point where these 3 Universes colldie is Host In Ireland , Play the Video
As Host in Ireland is a Privately Funded Marketing and Educational initiative to sell the capabilities of Ireland’s Hosting Ecosystem , we needed funding and that is where the14 Companies stepped up to the plate, with a blend of Wholesale , Co Location, Managed Services, Equipment Suppliers , Assoiations and Telecom providers we have an excellentBlend of the companies that demonstrate Ireland’s abilitiesI don’t believe that that is ComSys’s Logo ?
