The founder of one of Northern Ireland鈥檚 most successful technology companies is set to sprinkle his magic on a new local business.
Patrick McAliskey, who founded and developed Novosco before selling to CANCOM Group in 2019, has been appointed chair at Decision Time.
He will chair the company鈥檚 board of directors and provide strategic direction as it seeks to expand its already list of customers across the 海角视频 and Ireland.
Antrim-headquartered Decision Time provides software that makes it easier for organisations to practice good governance by running effective meetings, managing risk and monitoring their strategic performance. It enables CEOs, directors and leaders across any organisation to manage all of these essential requirements in one place.
Decision Time鈥檚 customers include NHS Trusts, some of the 海角视频 and Ireland鈥檚 largest universities, over 60 housing associations, non-departmental public bodies, a large number of the Republic of Ireland鈥檚 public sector bodies, and major Northern Ireland organisations such as Tourism NI, Translink and Invest NI.
In the last two years, the company has more than doubled its customer-base including continuing to win business from large global competitors. And its projections are for revenues to more than double from 拢2.4million per annum in 2020 to beyond 拢5m in 2023.
鈥淒ecision Time has a pedigree of nearly 20 years, and it is now at the point where it is growing rapidly and has an incredibly impressive market share in key sectors across the 海角视频 and Ireland,鈥 Patrick McAliskey said. 鈥淚 fully expect the company to move to the next level over the next few years in terms of its customer-base, employee numbers and revenues and I鈥檓 really excited to work with Geoff, David, Sinead and the team to help them on that journey.鈥
Decision Time is run by Directors Geoff and Sinead Higgins and David Braziel
鈥淧atrick鈥檚 track record speaks for itself and we鈥檙e really pleased to welcome Patrick as Chairman of Decision Time,鈥 Geoff Higgins said. 鈥淗e is one of Northern Ireland鈥檚 most skilled entrepreneurs and business leaders, and as we seek to continue to make Decision Time one of the best places to work in Northern Ireland and one of the leading software companies in Europe, I have no doubt Patrick鈥檚 input and guidance will be absolutely invaluable to us.鈥
