HemiPhon takes over ownership of E-tivity Corporation

E-tivity Corporation customers to benefit from increased investment
Australia, XX September, 2011 – Workforce management solutions provider E-tivity Corporation has become a fully owned subsidiary of HemiPhon PLC (FSE: H3P) following the establishment of that new parent company by E-tivity Corporation’s directors.
E-tivity Corporation has been operating in Australia under various business names since the 1970s and has become one of this country’s leading developers and providers of workforce management software. E-tivity Corporation will continue to supply and support quality workforce solutions.
“We had taken the E-tivity product portfolio as far as we could under the old structure,” said HemiPhon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Phil Jones. “With the establishment of HemiPhon we aim to create a larger technical resource for the on-going development of E-tivity software and to drive global expansion of that company, while also creating a vehicle for the development or acquisition of other technologies in the workforce management market.”
Jones will continue to be directly involved in E-tivity Corporation through his role as Executive Chairman and Director.
E-tivity Corporation has recently opened an office in the United States under the management of CEO Michael Volk. That business is responsible primarily for the sale and implementation of E-tivity workforce management software globally. The development of the E-tivity software now falls under the management of a new company E-tivity (Development) Pty Ltd which is managed by CEO Honey Jones. Jones and Volk are also Directors of HemiPhon.
“HemiPhon is determined to occupy the cutting edge of workforce management solutions,” Jones said. “This means bringing together the best IP, the best technology and the best teams to support next generation solutions that add real value to our existing customers as well as support our expansion into new markets.
“E-tivity Corporation delivers on four of the criteria that are critical to our growth – three decades in the Workforce Management solutions space, a history of strong R&D ($30 million invested over the past decade), proprietary software advantages, and a record of successful implementations across a range of industries and verticals (15,000 sites and counting worldwide).”
Jones said HemiPhon is committed to an aggressive strategy that combines acquisition of complementary intellectual property and technology, with robust research and development, and then passing these results on to its subsidiaries which will be focused on including them in their workforce management implementations.
