Halogen Software Begins New Year by Moving West to Kanata
Unprecedented growth results in need for larger facilities
OTTAWA - January 30, 2006 - Riding on its record success in 2005, Halogen Software is marking the New Year by moving to new, larger office facilities. The company is relocating from its current location on Auriga Drive to March Road in Kanata. The move will double the space available to Halogen and is in keeping with the company's future growth expectations. Halogen, a leading provider of Web-based employee performance management software, has consistently outpaced industry growth expectations and continues to dominate in key vertical markets such as healthcare.
The number of employees at Halogen grew by 55 percent in 2005. Currently the company has 12 openings available and anticipates an ongoing need for increased staffing over the coming months. The new facilities can accommodate Halogen's growth predictions for the next couple of years with options available for accommodating growth beyond current targets.
"Our business is to help our customers improve workforce performance and improve bottom line results. As a fast-growing company it's important for us to attract and retain the top talent we need to continue to produce award-winning employee performance management solutions," said Paul Loucks, President of Halogen Software. "We have outgrown our current building - and our new facilities will provide Halogen employees with a more spacious and appealing work environment."
Halogen's Web-based EPM solutions make it fast, simple and affordable for organizations to provide their employees with better quality employee appraisals, assessments, development plans and compensation adjustments on a regular and timely basis. The company received a 'strong positive' rating, in the 2005 Gartner EPM Software Vendor MarketScope Report(1) and was recognized, in October 2005, by Human Resource Executive Magazine, winning the Top Human Resources Product Award. Halogen was also winner of a Human Resources Technology Excellence Award from HR Systems and The International Quality & Productivity Center (IQPC) in July 2005.
