IRVING, TX Texas — July 30, 2007 — Aquire, the leader in visual workforce management solutions, today announced quarterly growth of 18.25 percent compared to the same period last year – growth fueled in part by the acquisition of customers such as Allstate, SunTrust and other top-tier global organizations.
“It is critically important to visually manage and get the most of your workforce, and more and more organizations recognize Aquire as the leader in this area,” said Lois Melbourne, chief executive officer of Aquire.
As a privately held company, Aquire does not disclose specific financial information, though it does characterize its growth rate in broad terms. The Metroplex Technology Business Council has recognized Aquire as one of the 50 fastest-growing technology companies in Dallas.
Melbourne said many of the company’s new customers are drawn by Unifi. The solution was designed in tandem with customers to manage real-world, pressing workforce transitional activities such as organizational restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, data analysis, migrations for HR system implementations and vital organizational management and planning. Organizations now have the ability to visually manage, structure and model critical workforce information residing in HR systems such as SAP®, PeopleSoft® and Oracle®.
OrgPublisher™, the first enterprise organizational charting solution on the market, continues to be the choice among the Fortune 1000 as well as growing companies in the small to medium business category. Introduced in 1994, OrgPublisher has evolved from an automated organizational product to a critical component of the human resource department. OrgPublisher gives executives access to visual workforce reports, self-service analytics and powerful modeling capabilities. In 2006, Aquire introduced OrgPublisher 7R, which includes powerful, real-time data access. The product was also awarded Powered by SAP Netweaver® status and was named by KMWorld as one of the Trend Setting Products of the year.
Some of Aquire’s new customers include Allstate; SunTrust Banks; Grupo LALA, a leading Mexican milk products producer; Capital Group Companies, one of the world’s largest investment management organizations with some $1.3 trillion under management; and Assicurazioni Generali, Italy’s largest insurance company.
“When companies find out what Unifi can do for them, they want it,” said Melbourne. “The thing is, Unifi isn’t a bolt-on point solution that addresses one or two challenges. The benefits of Unifi profoundly affect every aspect of the enterprise, including HR, finance, IT and operations, along with legal and risk mitigation. People are our most valuable resource, and managing them and putting them in the right place at the right time is always a challenge. That’s where Unifi and OrgPublisher both come in.”
Added Wes Kranz, vice president of product strategy for Aquire: “Companies are under tremendous pressure to get the most out of their workforces, so they partner with us because we can help them with one of the most comprehensive product suites in the industry.”
