The Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG, http://www.tssg.org) is delighted to accept the “Quarter 2 Award for Business Excellence in Manufacturing” from the Waterford Chamber of Commerce (www.waterfordchamber.ie); VHI Healthcare sponsors this award.
The TSSG is a unique Research and Development (R&D) centre located in Waterford Institute of Technology’s new West Campus in Carriganore, Co. Waterford. The TSSG’s research focus is on the dramatic changes occurring in the telecommunications software industry, and indeed on the wider converged communications industry, particularly in managing networks and in developing innovative new services for those networks. The unique aspect of the TSSG’s approach is that it embraces a wide range of research and development cultures, from blue-sky basic research through to commercial activity, each with a critical mass of activities. This integrative emphasis came from the original vision of its founder Dr. Willie Donnelly, who is now also the Head of Research in WIT.
The TSSG has established itself as the leading catalyst of high technology Information Communications Technologies (ICT) in Waterford and the South East having brought in 40 Million EUR of funding to WIT since its foundation in 1996, over €12 Million of this in 2007 to date, and having consistently employed over 100 highly skilled researchers and developers in recent years. The TSSG receives no base-line funding, all its funding comes from competitive tendering processes for research funding. The Waterford Chamber of Commerce Award underpins the key emphasis in the TSSG of impacting on industry internationally, nationally and regionally.
