Shannon Airport occupies a strategic location in the fastest growing business corridor in Ireland. It handles over 1.7 million passengers annually, offering world-class facilities. Other companies in the Shannon Group include Shannon Heritage, one of Ireland’s largest visitor experience operators, and Shannon Commercial Properties, owning and managing over 400 buildings and 2,000 acres of land in the Shannon region.
Until 2012, Shannon Airport was part of Dublin Airport Authority (DAA). However, the Irish Government separated Shannon Airport to create a new entity that would support the development of the airport and the Shannon region. The airport required its own I.T. systems and adopted Oracle’s E-Business Suite (EBS). The system was hosted by Oracle, but it became clear that a support partner would be needed and a competitive tender was held.
Claremont were recommended to Shannon and won the tender in April 2013 based on cost-effective pricing and delivery expertise. Since that time, Claremont has supported the functional and technical delivery for Oracle financials, procurement, property, and HCM. Shannon also engaged Claremont to deliver DBA support for other back-office systems running on Oracle database technologies.
