HumanConcepts Opens New UK Data Centre for EMEA Customers

Offers Quick, Secure, Cost-Efficient Access for Enterprises Adopting HumanConcepts Organizational Planning Suite SaaS Platform

Exeter, United Kingdom—Feb. 17, 2012—HumanConcepts, developer of HumanConcepts Organizational Planning Suite, has opened a new data centre to meet the growing demand by UK and EMEA-based customers for high-quality Software as a Service (SaaS) organisational planning solutions.

Housed in London, HumanConcepts’ new facility will allow European customers to access sensitive enterprise information quickly, cost efficiently and securely while avoiding the internet latency and data privacy challenges often posed by cloud computing solutions.

In 2011, HumanConcepts introduced HumanConcepts Organizational Planning Suite, the next generation of its award-winning OrgPlus Enterprise platform, taking full advantage of the growing trend of moving corporate services to a web-based infrastructure, i.e., the cloud. Built to the highest industry standards for performance reliability, security and 24/7 availability, the Data Centre strengthens HumanConcepts’ overall portfolio and marks the next step in its European development.

HumanConcepts CEO Martin Sacks said, “Our new data centre underscores our growth and commitment to offering HumanConcepts’ European users advanced organisational planning solutions that are able to satisfy complex business requirements.”

By adopting a SaaS implementation, new and current HumanConcepts customers realise considerable benefits. Quick to deploy, HumanConcepts’ web-based solution is easy to use and accessible from multiple channels, including web, enterprise portals and mobile devices. It is compatible with a wide range of browsers, including Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox in both Windows and Mac OS environments.

“More and more of our users are looking to lower total cost of ownership,” said Sacks. “Our web-based services are ideal for them, requiring no upfront investment or capital expenditure. As many IT departments see staff numbers diminish, moving to a SaaS environment allows users to do more with less. Not only will our new data centre provide higher performance, but it will guarantee that EMEA customers gain ultimate protection for their sensitive or mission-critical data in today’s cloud-based environment.”
