IRVING, Texas - September 21, 2004 — Datatel, Inc., and Aquire, Inc. today announced a strategic alliance agreement to provide advanced organizational charting solutions for higher education institutions. Datatel® Colleague® HR and Aquire’s OrgPublisher™ interface to provide mutual clients with increased options for business process improvements and enhanced web reporting for HR.

Aquire’s organizational charting software solutions, OrgPublisher™, Unifi™ and Mobile OrgPublisher™, help organizations address the business side of human resources data. Every organizational structure is different but all companies face similar business challenges every day. Aquire’s solutions automate the process of creating, distributing and maintaining secure, web-enabled org charts. With these products, organizations of any size can perform both simple and complex tasks through the most commonly understood business graphic, an org chart—including: tracking team-based hierarchies, distributing accurate phone lists, maintaining critical employee data, tracking cross-departmental dependencies, tracking indirect reporting relationships, performing financial calculations and on-the-fly analysis of human resource data. All of this can be done via an organization’s Intranet, handheld device, or in print, without the need for external reporting tools.
