    IT File Softworld Special - Great Plains strives for automation.

    Author Writer Date published March 17, 2000 Categories

    Great Plains has acquired PWA Group for $387m as part of its attempt to be the leading e-business software provider in the world. The acquisition of PWA, the parent company of PWA Personnel Systems, means they will be able to deliver ‘integrated e-business front and back office software solutions to the mid market’. With the acquisition, Great Plains intends to deliver what it calls powerful e/HR solutions and moves closer to its aim of automating all processes that occur between the company and its people. Marlow-based PWA MD Paul Wallace said: ‘The joining of our firms will provide a one-stop-shop for fully integrated systems for the mid-market.’
