Moreover, Franck Boutboul CEO EMEA added “Our strategy is clearly defined; at the end of last year, we decided to expand our activities in the Middle East by firstly creating a network with HR companies by leveraging our existing customer and partner's relationships and existing offices (Tunisia and Morocco). Our main objective is to build strong partnerships with selective companies that can help us promote our solutions and services. Secondly, by mid 2012, HR Access will have an office in this region. Depending on the selected partner we are considering either Riyadh and/or Abu Dhabi. This will allow us to develop HR Access' position and our market share." The Saudi market has officially opened doors for female employment and 40,000 new opportunities have been created within the cosmetic and fashion industries as well as others. Yet, it still comprises lots of semi-qualified Asian manual labor workers that could be replaced by Saudi labor workers to face the challenge of unemployment, and this issue can be solved in the Kingdom by the mutual support of local companies that can invest in specific educational programs dedicated to the employment crisis and a specialized foreign company. Accordingly, HR Access with its newly tailored product HRa Suite 9 can complete the missions and support these companies with the HR management needed systems in enabling the business to benefit from the rich and varied Human Resources of the company. Today, companies are under tremendous pressure to do more with fewer resources. Globalization has led to fierce international competition and cost rationalization. Behavioral changes in the work environment and new generations arriving on the job market are presenting new challenges in HR management as well. Successfully running a business requires the HR department to have access to a globalized and localized inventory of the Human Resources, skills and potentials. A high-performance and scalable information system is a vital partner for the HR team, helping them spends more time on missions with higher value added. “We are proud of the success of our HRa Suite 9 solution, which is a key factor in our further development and current growth. The launch of HRa Suite 9 confirms the maturity of our offering and our ability to extend our know-how to an international area," explains Franck Boutboul CEO EMEA, “In order to support our clients in deploying their Human Resources management strategies, we feel it is essential to continually enhance our offering to that it responds ever-more effectively to their needs and adapts to their changing circumstances."
