restructures Centre for Software Engineering |
Issue:
March 2003 |
|
|
Following
a review of the operations of the Centre for Software Engineering
at Dublin City University, the board of directors took the decision
to restructure the company and give it an extended role in the context
of serving the continuing needs of the software marketplace.
Under
the restructuring, Mr Michael O’Duffy has been appointed Chief
Executive Officer and has taken a significant stake in the company.
Mr O’Duffy has been with the Centre for Software Engineering
for over ten years and has played a crucial role in identifying
industry trends with a view to supporting software companies in
their strategic and technical development.
Dublin
City University remains actively committed to supporting the Centre
for Software Engineering and the important role it plays in providing
a range of high level consulting services to senior management in
the software sector in Ireland. In addition to the industry training,
CSE will continue to work on a one-to-one basis with individual
companies and to provide specialist programmes such as the upcoming
Software Project Management Programme.
The
University is particularly keen to expand the services of CSE into
new markets and to develop closer links between the academic schools
and CSE. DCU is pleased to announce that the Chinese Government,
through the CITEF agency, has named the CSE as the preferred supplier
of IT training to industry. The first group of Chinese IT professionals
will arrive in Dublin next month. In addition, the DCU Business
School will participate in the delivery of training services to
Iran and, in another agreement, CSE has formed an alliance with
UK consulting company, Corus Consulting, to jointly provide training
services to the Iranian national steel industry.

organisation came within a whisker of closure when it ran into
funding difficulties earlier this year.

Chinese Partners |
| The
Centre for Software Engineering (CSE) at Dublin City University
has added an extra strand to its technical and management training
programme for Chinese software engineers. The centre wants to
introduce these trainees to Irish software companies and to
encourage the formation of commercial partnerships. Such linkages,
