London and Belfast – June 11th, 2010 - Kainos, (www.kainos.com) the IT consulting company, today announced that its former speech technology business unit, SpeechStorm®, has completed a Management Buy Out (MBO) and initial funding round of 1.8 million pounds. The funding is provided by Kainos, Crescent Capital and the SpeechStorm senior management team - Oliver Lennon, Damian Kelly and Brendan McCarthy.

SpeechStorm, which employ 24 people, is headquartered in Belfast, with staff in Dublin and London. This investment will enable the company to accelerate development of its IVR applications for retail, financial services and telecoms sectors as well as expand its operations in international markets.

This investment is an endorsement of SpeechStorm’s capabilities and strengths in our existing markets and our strategic vision for the company. We are delighted to have Kainos on board and the opportunity to drive SpeechStorm’s international expansion with their support”.

SpeechStorm was first established as a business unit within Kainos in 2007. Following a number of successful projects with eircom, Ireland’s leading telecommunications provider, SpeechStorm quickly extended its customer base, providing innovative IVR applications to customers including Allied Irish Bank, Comet PLC and Etisalat.
