CVS Caremark is a Fortune 50 company with about 200,000 employees and it has revealed plans that will see 50 high quality jobs made available in Belfast.
This is the first significant move abroad for the pharmacy company and they plan to set up an IT operations centre in Belfast for the development of software.
Invest NI has offered ?300,000 in support whilst the Department of Employment and Learning has pledged ?200,000.
Northern Ireland's Enterprise Minister welcomed the news and said: "CVS Caremark considered several locations across the globe for its investment but was particularly attracted here by the availability of highly skilled IT professionals, our reliable, high speed and cost-effective telecoms infrastructure, and the very competitive operating cost environment.
"When fully in place these jobs will generate ?1.5m a year in salaries that will feed into the local economy."
This news comes days after Axiom, a legal firm, revealed that they would create 100 high salary jobs in Belfast over the next four years.
