PRESS RELEASE - 10th December 2010

activHR Consulting Ltd has finalised the acquisition of the Youmanage HR technology platform.

activHR Consulting Ltd is pleased to announce that it has acquired the assets of Youmanage Ltd and Proactive Online Solutions Ltd, a key step in the growth strategy of activHR and will allow for the development of an exciting new Company, Youmanage HR Ltd.

The Youmanage product was chosen as an excellent fit due to the national presence of the product and because activHR has been reselling its own branded version of Youmanage since 2008.

The Youmanage ‘online HR toolkit’ was fully launched in 2007 and is now being used by organisations in a range of business sectors, from Care Homes and Security to Marketing Services. The concept for Youmanage was based on the belief that if organisations are to improve the focus, competence and productivity of their employees, whilst at the same time comply with relevant employment regulations and standards, then they need to provide better support to their front-line managers.

Nick Pye, activHR Consulting’s Founder and Managing Director commented, “this acquisition represents significant progress in our aim of building a UK-wide presence in providing HR Management solutions to small and medium sized businesses. The acquisition of the Youmanage HR product is a major step forward in terms of the development of our own growth strategy. Many of our existing staff will be involved with the new business and we will continue to provide our customers with the high levels of service they have come to expect from us. Additionally, we’re pleased to state that we have a proven product development team in place and have the skills and expertise to further develop and enhance the product.”

He continued, “HR systems being delivered as SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) will continue to grow rapidly as companies look for new ways of cutting costs, whilst looking for help with developing their online HR strategies. The product we have, and the skills and expertise of our staff, will ensure that Youmanage HR Ltd can help clients take advantage of these capabilities, and will also underpin our focus of becoming the benchmark for excellence in online HR system delivery”.
