Shireburn Software celebrates 30 years in operation

From its daring beginnings in 1983 as the first IT training company in Malta, Shireburn celebrates 30 years as local leader in business software product development and support.

With a 35 strong team, Shireburn now dominates the local software product market with various integrated business solutions ranging from accounting to inventory, point-of-sale, payroll and HR, business intelligence, eCommerce, multi-channel distribution, and a freight industry solution amongst others. Shireburn has also obtained an uncontested reputation for excellence in software support.

The company is also currently finalising a move to new premises that will occur towards the end of the first quarter of 2014. This will allow Shireburn to continue to expand its team and resources in order to provide for the growing demand for its solutions and invest in the level of support provided to customers.

Shireburn continues to invest heavily in new technologies and products to meet the needs of thousands of companies that rely on its solutions. Being a business software provider comes with a responsibility like no other explains John de Giorgio, Managing Director of Shireburn Software. "We feel a heavy responsibility to all businesses that rely on our products to run operations smoothly. We strive to continue to provide them with the best solutions for their businesses combined with excellent support, helping them to reach new milestones and to continue to build on their own success."

Mr de Giorgio also explains how Shireburn's business model is different from most local IT companies. "We create our own Intellectual Property (IP) by developing our own software products rather than just importing solutions. This allows us to provide a better level of service to our customers based on a deep level of understanding of our clients' business processes and to establish a supportive relationship with our clients."

On the international front, Shireburn has made its mark on multiple occasions with ground-breaking products aimed at specific niche markets and currently enjoys a customer base in 40 countries. Shireburn's most recent success, Concessionaire Analyzer+, allows airports and shopping malls to manage and analyse their concessions through its Business Intelligence platform and is currently the only product addressing this important global niche.

According to Mr de Giorgio, the success of Shireburn to date and no doubt in the future, is largely based on a combination of a great team and customers alike. "We have enjoyed an unparalleled level of client and staff loyalty which continues to be pivotal to Shireburn's success. Right from our first software installation, we strove to always create unique and integrated software products backed by uncontested levels of support for our clients. This will continue to be the recipe for Shireburn's future."
