“We continue to operate and support all services. Our teams, including business-critical teams, are working well remotely and can continue to successfully operate remotely for an extended period of time if required,” Iress’ chief executive, Andrew Walsh, said.
“We continue to anticipate and respond to the COVID-19 situation and are focused on supporting the health and welfare of our people, service continuity to clients and users, and assistance to the community.”
