Enwisen Acquires Firstdoor, Solidifies Market Leadership Combined Platform to Offer Seamless HR Communications and Advisory Content |
|
| |
| |
NOVATO, CA (November 10, 2003) — Enwisen, Inc., the mid- to large-market leader for HR communication solutions, announced today the acquisition of Firstdoor, Inc., a leading supplier of HR knowledge solutions. |
|
|
| |
The acquisition of Firstdoor enables Enwisen to incorporate best-in-class advisory content for managers and HR professionals into the Employee Resource Center™, a communication platform for HR policies, benefits and decision-support tools. Firstdoor’s flagship product, AnswerSource™, utilizes an exclusive partnership that integrates legal publisher BNA, Inc.’s authoritative regulatory information with customers’ procedures, best practices, FAQs and policies. |
|
|
| |
Both solutions will continue to be offered stand-alone, but seamless integration will soon permit customers and channel partners to take advantage of the entire platform. |
|
|
| |
“The acquisition reflects increasing growth in the embedded intelligence market for HR as well as the consolidation needed to provide more complete solutions,” commented industry expert Naomi Bloom. “The business logic is simple: a combined Enwisen and Firstdoor can offer a more comprehensive product and better service to the industry. It’s a natural fit providing strong evidence this market niche is maturing.” |
|
|
| |
“We have long been impressed with the synergies of the Firstdoor and Enwisen product offerings,” said Wally Smith, chief executive officer of Enwisen. “We are confident this acquisition will result in a substantial increase in value to our customers and partners. Customers can now obtain ‘best of breed’ employee self-service, manager self-service, and professional advisory solutions from a single platform.” |
