Given the wide range of the Local Enterprise Offices remit, their engagement with their clients takes many forms: from drop-in visits; telephone calls; emails and meetings; to social media contacts via platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, among others. Data on the volume of all such client engagement is not currently available across the 31 individual LEOs.
However, in respect of key LEO services, data for 2014 and 2015 can be provided as set out in the following tables:

Given the range of contact options, Enterprise Ireland has initiated a project to develop a single Customer Relationship Management System (CRMS) for use by all the LEOs. The aim of the CRMS project is to provide a more structured approach to contact management across all of the LEOs.
