Nashua, NH – April 6, 2010 - Akken (www.akken.com),provider of the first All-in-One business software suite for staffing and recruiting firms, today released Akken Staffing Mobile, the only true Mobile Software-as-a-Service (Mobile SaaS) offering available in the industry. Akken Staffing Mobile frees companies from the dependence on any one mobile device, providing a mobile phone choice that best suites each of their users' needs, whether that be Blackberry, iPhone, Android, Palm Pre or any other Smartphone. Users can now access their email, calendar and tasks as well as client, candidate and employee contact information, notes and activities in real-time, from any mobile device with internet access.
"We soft released Akken Staffing Mobile last week to our client base, and the positive response has been astonishing" said Giridhar Akkineni, President and CEO of Akken. "We knew this would be a game changer, but the instant results our clients have experienced in its first week of availability speak volumes to how smart phones are changing the way staffing and recruiting companies serve their clients and candidates. We are proud to release another industry first in our mission to provide powerful, affordable, easy to use software that creates immediate competitive advantage for our clients."
How It Works
Akken Staffing Mobile is specifically designed for quick, easy access to critical information on the small screen of a mobile phone. Users access their account through the web browser on any web-enabled Smartphone such as a Blackberry, iPhone, Android or Palm Pre. Because users gain access through the web browser rather than an application, there is no configuration, no setup, no apps to download and no need to synchronize devices. Users simply login on any mobile Smartphone through https://login.akken.mobi and access real-time business information on the go.
"As someone who travels between multiple offices, mobile access allows me to better support my staff without needing my laptop" said Matthew Smith, VP Temporary Staffing of The Liberty Group. "I can easily pull client info while waiting at the airport or between meetings. From a management standpoint, I can now see what is happening in all of my offices in real-time and not miss out on crucial information when I can’t use my laptop. I love it."
