I.R.I.S. Group S.A., a company listed on EURONEXT Brussels and specialized in Intelligent Document Recognition, in electronic Document, Content and Process Management and in optimized IT infrastructure announced today an extension of its activities with the European Commission.
This new I.R.I.S. business development will allow the Belgian company to extend its role in 2012 with about twenty new resources.
Pierre De Muelenaere, President and CEO: "I.R.I.S. was already very active among International Institutions in Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries like The Netherlands, Spain, Germany or The United Kingdom, providing them with technical staff and turnkey applications in the fields of ECM (with Documentum®, SharePoint®, Livelink, etc.), document capture and ICT (IT Infrastructures). This business extension is perfectly in line with our strategic positioning, and a perfect opportunity to bring to light one of the fundamental segments I.R.I.S. specializes in."
Brigitte Niset and Daniel Boujo (General Managers at I.R.I.S. International Organizations): "I.R.I.S. is very active with the European Organization. For one of our major contract, we are in consortium with Unisys Belgium, Intrasoft, Sogeti and Reggiani. Together we play a key role in providing the European Commission with a broad range of Information Technology (IT) services.

It covers a wide range of IT services in the fields of document management, web content management, geographical data management, information and data analysis tools, information security and quality, and user assistance.
