AKKEN LAUNCHES TOTAL ON-DEMAND STAFFING INDUSTRY SOFTWARE
Akken Staffing™ provides all the software staffing companies need to run their entire business.
Nashua, NH - November 8, 2006 - Akken, Inc. today announces Akken Staffing™, a fully integrated, on-demand staffing industry solution, providing all the software staffing and IT consulting companies need to run their entire business in one easy-to-use webbased service. Akken Staffing includes integrated Email, Group Calendaring, Analytics, Dashboards, Collaboration Tools, Applicant Tracking, Customer Relationship Management, Vendor Management, Accounting and Human Resource Management Systems.
Taking a modern approach to staffing and enterprise software, Akken Staffing is webbased and accessed through the internet by logging in with a username and password. It is paid for as a simple, monthly subscription service - eliminating expensive hardware and software installation, integration, support, maintenance, and upgrade expenses that have made traditional software and enterprise systems unaffordable to small and midsized staffing companies until now. Akken’s Software-as-a-Service platform allows companies to store all their information in one hosted, secure database with 24x7 uptime and full disaster recovery, providing the flexibility and agility staffing companies demand to remain competitive in a quickly evolving marketplace.
"We are excited to provide Akken Staffing™ to staffing and recruiting companies that have been waiting decades for integrated business process automation software that was until now only affordable by the biggest firms that could spend millions of dollars for such systems" said Giridhar Akkineni, Founder and President of Akken."This is the first time staffing organizations of any size can get a complete, low-cost, integrated software solution built for their business processes, from a single provider."
Need for On-Demand Staffing Industry Solution
Today, business is conducted in a decentralized, global, and online environment, yet the software available to staffing companies to operate their entire business is still rooted in traditional on-premise, client/server applications. In recent years efforts have been made to integrate "front" and "back" office staffing software, but with all of these systems developed to run as separate applications, integration rarely provides the automation and level of service expected by staffing companies wanting to streamline their operations. Even worse, these systems have become more complex, time consuming, and expensive to maintain and upgrade.
Instead of building "front" and "back" office software separately, Akken has built the software applications together. Using modern technology Akken has developed an enterprise wide software application, delivered as a service, which provides companies an attractive alternative to traditional staffing and enterprise software. Leveraging the technologies that will be common place in the future, Akken empowers staffing companies to setup and run their entire company in minutes, allows access to company information anywhere with an internet connection and web browser, provides the flexibility to grow and add office locations in seconds, and is completely integrated - increasing productivity in all functional areas of the business.
