Two Decades of Innovation: Celebrating 20 Years of Perform IT

It feels like just yesterday that Perform IT started out with just a simple but powerful vision: to help businesses perform better through technology. As we mark our 20th anniversary, it’s a moment of immense pride to look back on the journey that has brought us here. From a small Irish Professional Services company to an international IT Consultancy with dedicated operational hubs in 7 countries from Dublin to Dubai. We are a trusted partner to customers across 23 countries.  

Catherine Brenner, HR Director and Co-founder says,

“As we commemorate our 20th anniversary, I extend my best wishes for success to all “2025 Start UPs.” The entrepreneurial spirit that has defined our company for two decades continues to play an integral role in Perform IT’s capacity to innovate and adapt to evolving market demands.” 

The two decades have been an incredible journey, filled with challenges, growth, and countless achievements. We celebrate the relationships we’ve built, the innovations we’ve driven, and the collective spirit that defines who we are. It’s a story of our team, our customers, and our partners, and we are thrilled to share it with you. 

Our Journey: From a Vision to a Global Presence 

When we first opened our doors in 2005, the IT landscape looked very different. Our goal was to support companies in navigating the challenges of IT and its rapidly evolving advancements. We started small, but our ambition was always to go above and beyond, supporting our customers by providing tailored solutions that made a real difference. Over the past 20 years, we have transformed into a trusted name in the IT sector, supporting organisations across EMEA, from national entities to Fortune Global 500 companies. 

This journey has been one of constant evolution. Karl Brenner, Founder and CEO of Perform IT says,

“Reaching 20 years is a testament to the commitment and effort of our extraordinary team, the loyalty of our customers, and our dedication to staying ahead in a rapidly evolving industry. We are immensely proud of this achievement, but more importantly, we are excited about what lies ahead.” 

Adaptability has been at the core of our success. We recognised early on that to deliver true value, we had to do more than just keep pace with change – we had to anticipate it. This foresight allowed us to guide our clients through major technological shifts, helping them navigate the complexities of digital transformation and achieve greater operational efficiency. 

A Legacy Built on Innovation and Partnership   

Looking back, our success has been driven by a consistent focus on innovation. We’ve always believed in leveraging emerging technologies to solve complex problems. Over the years, our service portfolio has grown to include award winning APM services, cloud computing, managed IT services, AI solutions, and our leading observability practice. By providing scalable and sustainable digital solutions, we empower our clients to thrive in an ever-changing landscape.   

As Karl puts it,

“Our ability to anticipate and respond to changes in the IT landscape has allowed us to remain a step ahead. This milestone celebrates not only where we’ve been but the vision we have for the future, driven by innovation, sustainability, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.”   

While technology plays a vital role in what we do, it’s the strength of our relationships and the loyalty of Perform IT’s long-standing team members that truly define our success. Many have been with us since the very beginning, forming the backbone of our journey. We view our clients as partners, approaching every project with collaboration, transparency, and mutual respect. This foundation of trust—combined with the dedication and expertise of our team—has powered our growth, enabling us to overcome challenges, achieve shared goals, and deliver transformative solutions that drive meaningful results. 

Looking Forward to the Next Chapter 

We look forward with excitement and remain steadfast in our mission to empower organisations to perform better. The future of IT is dynamic, and we are poised to continue leading the way. 

We have plans to expand our services, with a particular focus on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. Deepening our global presence is also a key priority, as we aim to bring our expertise to even more organisations around the world. 

Our Chief Information Officer, Stanislav Ivanov, shares this forward-looking perspective:

“We live in exciting technological era filled with progress but it’s not without challenges. Riding the technology wave requires us to stay on top of what tech comes up next – so we can deliver the latest and the greatest to our customers. Reflecting on our ability to transform and evolve makes me optimistic for what is next to come. We have the resources and the assets, so we are destined for success. As we look forward to the next 20 years, our focus will remain on creating smarter, more efficient, and secure IT ecosystems that enable businesses to thrive. We are honoured to play a part in shaping the future of our industry.” 

We are committed to building on the foundation we’ve established over the last two decades. The next chapter for Perform IT will be defined by solutions that not only solve today’s problems but also unlock tomorrow’s opportunities.
