Our Story
After working for years on large infrastructure projects as telecoms engineers, three colleagues from the West of Ireland decided to pool their talents to get better outcomes from the projects they were working on.
The pain points were always the same. Everyone was working in siloes, using their own processes and data sets, and none of the teams or departments ever seemed to communicate. Projects were constantly delayed and going over budget.
So they joined forces to design and build a software platform that was so flexible, it could be used in any sector. And in 1999, Cora Systems was founded.
To begin with, they focused on extending the platform organically, one capability at a time. But once they’d secured the strategic investment needed for their expansion into the US market, that steady progress was transformed into exponential growth.
Today, Cora has hundreds of employees working on both sides of the Atlantic, with offices in the US, UK and Dublin. But our product engineering continues to be based in Carrick-on-Shannon. After all, if you’re going to change the world, you might as well do it against the idyllic backdrop of the waterways of Ireland.

Our Mission: To Give Organizations the Power of Predictability
Many of the unwanted surprises that businesses have to deal with arise because of their inability to produce reliable forecasts. We’ve made it our goal to remedy that.
We’ve built a software platform with a suite of tightly coupled modules that streamlines your processes and consolidates all your data into one, central system.
Everything is updated in real time and everyone works in the same, standardized way, and off the same data.
We’ve produced a blueprint that can be adapted for businesses working in any industry, from manufacturing and aerospace and defense, to biopharma, renewables and government.
Cora Customers
“We reduced our overruns by $200 million and we identified $250 million of change orders we hadn’t detected. Simple changes can have a huge impact on projects because these projects are very low margin and it doesn’t take much to take them off track.”
