Staff working in Allied Irish Bank’s IT division have voted to accept the bank’s outsourcing proposals, meaning that roughly 220 employees will be transferred to Infosys and Wipro, who will be providing technology support services.

The vote was put to the members of the Irish Bank Officials’ Association that are involved with AIB’s IT. The IBOA explained that the intention of the transfers is to enhance job security for workers and to protect their pension entitlements.

Early in June, AIB assured its employees that no redundancies would result from its plans to outsource numerous functions within its application development and maintenance division.
