London - Meeting Maker, Inc., a leader in critical time and resource scheduling solutions, announced today that it has acquired U.K.-based PeopleCube, a provider of advanced on-demand Business Process Management (BPM) applications. Meeting Maker, Inc., whose management team remains in place, has been renamed PeopleCube (TM) to reflect its expanded focus.
PeopleCube's solutions optimise people, processes and schedules - enabling organisations to proactively manage their businesses, reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve productivity. The acquisition positions the new PeopleCube as a leader in Human Process Management (HPM), the next generation of BPM. This emerging trend leverages technology to integrate and manage the human role in business processes.
This acquisition represents the fourth for the company in two years. Maintaining its corporate headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, PeopleCube will continue to operate existing offices in the U.K. All PeopleCube employees will remain with the new company.
"Our focus has always been on developing scheduling solutions to address business needs," said John T. Anderson, president and CEO of PeopleCube. "Companies today are looking to derive more value from their business processes, and a key way to accomplish that is through Human Process Management - integrating people with processes. Combining BPM technology with scheduling products enables PeopleCube to offer a key component that BPM was missing: visibility into the individual who implements the process. The end result is the optimisation of people, processes and schedules to further business goals, which is the expanded vision of our company.
