Vulcan Solutions, software solutions provider to the financial services industry, has been named Best ICT Company of the Year at the inaugural ITAG Industry Awards.  The awards were announced on November 3rd at a black tie dinner in the Westwood Hotel, Galway.  The event was sponsored by Microsoft and attracted 190 representatives of the IT community in Galway. 

The Best ICT Company award was presented to Vulcan Solutions in recognition of their excellence in marketing, implementing and supporting ICT solutions. During 2005, Vulcan Solutions has delivered 80 software projects to its customers, and made significant investments in its insurance and lending management systems.   A major advance for the company this year was the formation of a partnership with Idiom Software (NZ) to provide their Business Rules Engine to Ireland and the UK market.  The partnership was officially launched at a seminar in Dublin on August 10th and Vulcan Solutions has executed a sales and marketing campaign to highlight the features of this new technology and its relevance to companies in the financial services sector.
