The article reports that pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc., has selected Emerald Isle, Ireland as a launching place for its worldwide financial system deployment. It has been found out that IT jobs in Ireland were difficult to find. According to a study in the year 2005, IT job vacancies had increased by 14 percent. Project leader and vice president of IT for corporate finance at Pfizer Inc., John Larson, said that it is difficult to hire employees to fill higher-level of IT positions because some skilled professionals leave the country. John considered the difficulty of looking IT professionals to support the project as a challenge.
