Akken Launches "Upgrade & Save" Summer Promotion To Save New Customers 50% Off Current Front Office Staffing And Recruiting Software Price
Front office staffing and recruiting software customers move from standalone customer relationship management and applicant tracking to integrated front and back office staffing platform
Nashua, NH – June 12, 2009 - Akken (www.akken.com), provider of the first All-in-One, on demand staffing and recruiting software, today announced its "Upgrade & Save" summer promotion, available for staffing and recruiting firms currently using front office software that demand greater value from their current solution. The program gives staffing and recruiting firms access to the latest technology innovations while providing much needed relief from high license and user fees that are prevalent throughout the industry.
"Upgrade & Save" offers staffing and recruiting firms coming from desktop and web-based front office systems the opportunity to drop their current software in exchange for the Akken Staffing Front Office User Edition, at a cost 50% less than the value of their current system. It also provides a path to Akken's All-in-One platform, which companies can use to manage their back office operations such as timesheet and expense management, billing, and payroll reporting.
"This is a tough, unprecedented time for the staffing and recruiting industry" said Tim Quirk, VP Marketing at Akken. "More than ever, every dollar counts. Our goal is to help companies do more with less while providing an opportunity to get out of expensive contracts."
As companies look for ways to get more done with fewer resources, Akken can help reduce monthly expenses AND provide an improved, centralized software-as-a-service platform to boost placement and assignment rates, strengthen customer and candidate relationships, and foster collaboration among team members.

- Up to 50% reduction in software and IT expense;
- Higher win rates against competitors by immediately responding to clients;

Akken offers significantly more value than other providers in the industry, allowing staffing and recruiting firms to replace up to 9 core software applications with its integrated, software-as-a-service platform. Companies that take advantage of the 50% discount get more than a basic applicant tracking system with:
- Fully integrated, web-based applicant tracking, job order and customer relationship management;
