Avature CRM jetzt in Version 4.3 erhältlich

Avature — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:01:00 +0000

Avature CRM, eines der erfolgreichsten Personal und Recruiting CRM-Systeme, steht ab sofort in der neuen Version 4.3 bereit. Die Avature CRM ist ein Produkt der gleichnamigen Firma Avature und wird von Recruitment Mitarbeitern und Managern auf allen fünf Kontinenten eingesetzt, um die Prozesse im Personalbereich, bzw. in der Mitarbeiterrekrutierung zu verbessern.

Mit der Version 4.3, bietet die Avature CRM zahlreiche neue Features und Verbesserungen. Zu den wichtigsten, neuen Funktionen der Avature CRM zählen das neue Dashboard, welches Ihnen einen Überblick über alle wichtigen Informationen schaffen soll. Des Weiteren wurden neue Parsing-Eigenschaften hinzugefügt. Unter Anderem wurden die Sprachen Schwedisch und Holländisch hinzugefügt. Lebensläufe können nun in allen wichtigen Sprachen erkannt und erfasst werden. Zusätzliche Verbesserungen sind ohne Zweifel die Möglichkeit Emails als PlainText zu versenden sowie die neuen Tabellenfunktionen.

Dieses neue Release ist nun die 3 Softwareaktualisierung binnen einem Monat. Das Unternehmen legt großen Wert auf Flexibilität und Kundenzufriedenheit. «Wir versuchen daher immer auf die Wünsche unserer Kunden, so schnell wie möglich einzugehen», so Dimitri Boyland, Geschäftsführer und Eigentümer von Avature. «Als webbasierte Lösung, können wir Produktverbesserungen natürlich einfacher und schneller an den Kunden weitergeben, als dies bei serverinstallierten Lösungen der Fall ist». Gerade für mittelständische und kleinere Unternehmen ist dies natürlich von großem Vorteil, da große Einrichtungs- und Unterhaltskosten entfallen und sie mit den automatischen Softwareaktualisierungen immer auf dem neuesten Stand bleiben.

Nach einer Studie der Universität Bamberg, kommen mittlerweile über 40 Prozent der Neueinstellungen in deutschen Mittelstandsfirmen über die eigene Unternehmens-Webseite und Online Stellenbörsen zustande. Aufgrund dieser Tatsache ist es natürlich von besonderer Bedeutung diese neuen Informationskanäle zu optimieren. Dies ist genau der Kernbereich der Avature CRM. Der Fokus liegt auf den webbasierte Stellenbörsen und sozialen Netzwerken. Die Möglichkeit des intelligenten Email-Managements und der Erstellung bzw. der Verwendung von Arbeitsabläufen/Workflows, runden das Angebot ab.

Avature brengt Europese Recruiting CRM softwarediensten onder bij TelecityGroup Nederland

Avature — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:54:53 +0000

Gepubliceerd: 28 oktober 2009 om 14:48 uur
Persbericht van: TelecityGroup

Amsterdam, woensdag 28 oktober 2009 – Avature, Amerikaanse leverancier van Web 2.0 Human Capital Management software, brengt zijn softwarediensten voor Europa, Midden-Oosten en Afrika onder bij TelecityGroup Nederland. Avature is de nieuwe onderneming van Dimitri Boylan, voormalig medeoprichter en CEO van HotJobs.com, een van de grootste vacaturesites van de Verenigde Staten, die in 2002 werd gekocht door Yahoo. Avature koos voor het TelecityGroup Amstel Business Park datacenter vanwege de strenge beveiliging, uitstekende connectiviteit en hoge efficiëntie.

Het datacenter, dat voldoet aan de strengste internationale databeveiligingsnormen en beschikt over het ISO 270001 certificaat, gaat de Recruiting CRM-services verzorgen voor een aantal bestaande multinationale cliënten, waaronder enkele in de regio gevestigde grote werving- en selectiebureaus.

De door TelecityGroup aangeboden IP Multihome service biedt connectiviteit aan via diverse Tier 1-netwerkaanbieders en zes Europese Internet Exchanges. Daardoor is de beschikbaarheid hoog en bedraagt de reactietijd voor Avature CRM-applicaties op het continent minder dan een seconde. Als een van de energiezuinigste datacenters van Europa, met een vermogensdichtheid die tweemaal zo hoog is als het gemiddelde in de sector faciliteert Amstel Business Park een kosteneffectieve uitbreiding van Avatures activiteiten in de regio.

“We waren weliswaar genoodzaakt om onze hostingcapaciteit uit te breiden,” aldus CEO Dimitri Boylan van Avature, “maar we zetten ook weer een stapje op weg naar een milieubewustere manier om in onze rekencapaciteit te voorzien. Als aanbieder van SaaS benutten we onze servers beter en verwerken we meer informatie per verbruikte kilowatt dan de meeste systemen in interne datacenters. We zijn dan ook erg onder de indruk van de energiezuinigheid van het Amstel Business Park datacenter.”

Directeur Alexandra Schless van TelecityGroup Nederland voegt hieraan toe: “TelecityGroup datacenters krijgen keer op keer de voorkeur van toonaangevende Amerikaanse bedrijven, die hun activiteiten naar Europa willen uitbreiden. Avature heeft een uitstekende reputatie wat betreft het leveren van diensten via het internet. We vinden het dan ook een voorrecht om een cruciale rol te kunnen spelen in het ondersteunen van hun internationale expansie door het hosten en beheren van hun infrastructuur in onze robuuste en veilige Amstel Business Park datacenter.”

Over Avature

Avature Selects TelecityGroup Netherlands to Host European Data Centre Operations for its SaaS Based Recruiting CRM

Avature — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:44:35 +0000

NEW YORK, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ — Avature, a provider of innovative Web 2.0 Human Capital Management software solutions, today announced the selection of TelecityGroup Netherlands for hosting their EMEA region software services. The Amstel Business Park (ABP) data centre, TelecityGroup’s newest Amsterdam facility, was selected for its high security, excellent connectivity, and low
environmental impact.

The ISO 27001 certified data centre meets the strictest international standards in information security, and will host the Recruiting CRM services for several existing multinational clients, including major staffing services firms headquartered in the region.

High availability and sub-second response time for the Avature CRM applications located on the continent is being supported by TelecityGroup’s IP Multihome service which provides connectivity over multiple Tier-1 networks and six European Internet Exchanges.

One of the most energy efficient data centres in Europe, the Amstel Business Park facility has twice the industry average power density and will facilitate Avature’s cost effective expansion in the region. TelecityGroup is taking the lead in driving energy efficiency in the data centre in Europe: it was the first data centre operator to sign up to the new EU Code of Conduct for data centres and is also a member of the Green Grid.

“While this is a needed expansion of our hosting capacity,” said Dimitri Boylan, CEO of Avature, “it is also a step towards a more environmentally responsible delivery of computer processing power. As a SaaS provider, we get high utility out of our servers, so we process more information per Kilowatt consumed than most on-premise systems. We are particularly impressed with the energy efficiency of this new centre.”

Alexandra Schless, managing director TelecityGroup Netherlands said: “TelecityGroup continues to be the data centre of choice for leading US businesses expanding into Europe. Avature has established a strong reputation for delivering management solutions across the web and I’m very pleased that TelecityGroup will play a crucial role in supporting their international expansion by hosting and maintaining their infrastructure in our new highly resilient and secure ABP data centre in Amsterdam.”

Avature and WorkDigital Announce Partnership to Manage Recruitment Advertising on Twitter

Avature — Thu, 07 May 2009 21:00:00 +0000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

(New York, May 7, 2009) Avature, a provider of innovative Enterprise 2.0 Human Capital Management solutions, and WorkDigital Ltd, a leading search engine technology company and developer of job search engines Workhound.co.uk and TwitterJobSearch.com, today announced the availability of an integration between the two software environments to simplify and automate the recruitment process on Twitter.

The direct connection between Avature’s Recruiting CRM™ software and WorkDigital Ltd’s relevancy algorithms written specifically for job related content on Twitter, allows companies to easily scale up their job postings on Twitter with maximum visibility. The new offering provides the following benefits to employers:

• Automates the entire Twitter Recruitment process
• Provides brand management solutions for corporate Twitter accounts
• Drives traffic to the employers job postings on their website
• Provides click-through analytics to monitor effectiveness
• Significantly extends the reach and visibility throughout the Twitter network
• Accelerates the rate at which Twitter users subscribe to the employers Twitter accounts (called Followers)
• Utilizes best practices to make sure that job posts are indexed on search engines like TwitterJobSearch.com

“WorkDigital Ltd has extensive experience building applications for the Twitter platform and, in addition to their recent launch of TwitterJobSearch.com, has developed a unique means of automating the job posting process on Twitter,” said Dimitri Boylan, Founder and CEO of Avature. “We’re committed to providing our customers with innovative software solutions that put them in front of the trend curve and increase their productivity. This partnership is another example of that commitment.”

Leading employers are looking for new and different ways to reach their target audience. Twitter has reached a tipping point in terms of user adoption and now presents a potentially effective platform for doing that. However, due to the relative newness of the platform, the learning curve associated with effectively leveraging it as a bona fide recruitment advertising vehicle can be steep. That’s kept a lot of employers away.

Now employers have the opportunity to manage their online candidate sourcing with a simple scalable solution in a manner that is consistent with their brand values and plays within the social guidelines of the Twitter community.

“We’re really excited about this partnership,” said Bill Fischer, Director at WorkDigital Ltd. “Avature is an industry leader in developing innovative, Web 2.0 recruiting software. Providing their customers with a turn-key solution to utilize an important emerging platform in social media today is a natural fit.”

The new offering from Avature and WorkDigital Ltd. is available immediately and can be purchased as a monthly subscription.

Avature Releases Recruiting CRM™ version 2.0 with Rules Engine and Optimization for Google’s Chrome Browser

Avature — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 21:50:08 +0000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

(New York; November 10th, 2008) Avature, a provider of innovative Enterprise 2.0 Human Capital Management solutions, announced that it has released version 2.0 of its flagship product, Recruiting CRM™. Recently named one of Human Resource Executive™ magazine’s Top 10 HR Products of the Year for 2008, the new version includes a Rules Engine for enhanced business automation and optimization for Google’s Chrome browser.
The Rules Engine allows users of the system to build rules to manage lists, e-mail communications, and to automate other tasks in the system based on user preferences. Users can modify the rules frequently and without the assistance of technical professionals, making the application more adaptable to their changing needs.

“With this release we have laid the foundation for expanding the functional scope of our application beyond traditional CRM boundaries,” commented Avature CEO Dimitri Boylan. “Rules allow users can take advantage of the flexibility of our system to process a greater variety of recruiting tasks, such as candidate on-boarding”

One example of a practical use of the Rules Engine is the building up and tearing down of lists. Lists provide a spreadsheet like view of data records in the system and are ideal for users who need to execute a limited number of actions on a large number of records in a serial fashion. In highly collaborative environments, static spreadsheets quickly obsolesce since the data is in a constant state of change. Generated by the Rules Engine, lists become dynamic, growing or shrinking based on a set of rules and a series of system events.

Recruiting CRM v2.0 is also optimized to run on Google’s Chrome browser, increasing the processing of complex JavaScript by 300%. Additional features added in the v2.0 release include an advanced search string library for simultaneous execution of Open Web and Social Site searches, an improved user interface, and higher performance on Internet Explorer v7 and Firefox.

Delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS), Recruiting CRM can be purchased as a monthly subscription

Avature Announces the Release of Recruiting CRM™

Avature — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:08:11 +0000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Avature launches the first ever CRM solution constructed specifically for Recruiters. The product leverages Avature’s proprietary Web 2.0 framework, and is designed for advanced relationship management, interactivity with social networks, and real time recruiter collaboration.

(New York; September 12th, 2008) Avature, a leading provider of recruiting services, announced that its new product, Recruiting CRM has moved out of Beta and is available to companies seeking to boost its recruiting ability by taking advantage of the social network phenomenon at a global scale. Built on Avature’s proprietary Web 2.0 framework, the application is the only enterprise CRM designed specifically for recruiting purposes. Recruiting CRM brings several advanced sales and contact management features to the recruiting software marketplace. The Beta version was released in June, 2008 at the International Association for Human Resources Information Management (IHRIM) conference and was put through its paces at a Fortune 500 company prior to the version 1.0 release.

Recruiting CRM brings Internet spidering, e-mail threading, SMS communication, tagging and tag clouds, Boolean and Custom Operators, Live Search, and other advanced Web 2.0 features to the talent acquisition software solution space. The user interface is highly customizable, including an optional OFCCP compliance module, multiple language configuration, and intelligent parsing algorithms that can learn any language and adjust to international resume formats and styles. Recruiting CRM’s analytics dashboard brings critical recruiting metrics into real-time view, making management of sourcing teams, recruiters and recruiting managers easier and more effective than ever before. The system is ideal for deployment in front of existing ERP solutions or Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and is HR-XML compliant, simplifying integration with legacy HR systems.

“Recruiters need to build, organize, and regularly communicate with a much larger network of people in order to respond faster to the talent needs of the enterprise. Current recruiting and HR systems don’t provide the functionality required to manage that type of process in a meaningful way,” said CEO Dimitri Boylan. “At Avature we’ve harnessed recent Web 2.0 technologies to create a completely different user experience for the busy recruiter or sourcing professional. Blistering speed, less data entry, the ability to organize candidates the way you want to, tools to efficiently and regularly communicate with prospects, and real time dashboards are the keys to high productivity for recruiters and managers. One button resume upload from the Internet, online spreadsheet views of data, and dynamic talent pipelines let recruiters get “in the zone”, and stay there.”

Recruiting CRM makes building and managing relationships with talented people effortless. Locally to globally, recruiting operations can now manage critical online and offline sourcing activities and talent pipeline development with an eye on performance and return on effort (ROE). In the “war for talent,” Avature’s Recruiting CRM delivers a competitive advantage over stand alone sourcing tools and traditional ATS systems.

Delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS), Recruiting CRM can be purchased as a monthly subscription service.
