Collaborative Workforce Modelling Solution Reduces Reorganisation and M&A Integration Time; Provides Structured Framework for Managing Reorganisation Process

Exeter, United Kingdom — 2 May 2008 — HumanConcepts, the developer of OrgPlus®, today announced availability of OrgPlus Enterprise Blueprint, the 1st truly collaborative solution for supporting better workforce change decisions.

OrgPlus Enterprise Blueprint is an innovative Web 2.0 solution that empowers C-level leadership, finance and HR executives and line managers to proactively model the impact of workforce change spurred by growth, reorganisations or company mergers. By creating, comparing and analysing multiple “what if” workforce scenarios, companies can accelerate organisational change and improve planning decisions as well as gain buy-in from key parties during transformational events, such as a merger or global reorganisation.

“At T.D. Williamson, we have experienced significant organisational growth and expansion to over 45 locations. With OrgPlus Enterprise Blueprint, we can consolidate information from multiple data sources, and rapidly facilitate communications between employees to provide a global view of workforce resources for management,” said Rick Bennett, director of information technology, T.D. Williamson. “The ability for us to work together as a team on ‘what if’ scenarios allows us to make decisions regarding workforce changes much more quickly, and to manage our key business metrics during the process.”

“OrgPlus Enterprise Blueprint provides the 1st end-to-end system for collaborating around transformational change in an organisation.” said Martin Sacks, Chief Executive Officer, HumanConcepts. “Our customers can drastically reduce the time it takes to reorganise or to merge two organisations, enabling them to realise the intended business benefits more quickly. During a change process, a managed framework provides distributed teams a single organisational model to work from to facilitate better decision making and ensure real-time executive, finance and HR oversight.”
