Dublin-headquartered Codec has grown from a small technology reseller into one of Ireland’s leading digital transformation partners and a top Microsoft collaborator.

Its 300-strong team supports organisations in modernising operations, strengthening security, and accelerating AI adoption.

“PCs were only on about 5 per cent of the desks,” recalls CEO Ronan Stafford. “We kicked off in a totally different world.” Today, Codec helps clients “become more efficient, serve their customers better, operate faster, and become leaner,” he adds.

Codec’s work with the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) illustrates its public sector expertise. Stafford explains, “HIQA wanted to implement a new digital system to regulate health and social care services that is their responsibility. They wanted it to be in the cloud, to be secure, but they also wanted their users to be able to change the system to reflect changes in their environment as they go along, so it is quite a challenging system.”

The company also delivered the Decision Support Service (DSS) for the Mental Health Commission, a digital-first service now supporting 53,000 users and handling 90,000 queries. Stafford notes: “It had to satisfy full legislation. That system is live now, it is successful.”

Looking ahead, Stafford predicts cybersecurity and AI will dominate public sector transformation. “AI will not work on-premise, so there is a greater incentive for the public sector to adapt.”

Codec’s combination of people, technology, and Microsoft partnership positions it to lead Ireland’s next wave of digital innovation.
