Keys to Choosing the Right Staffing Platform
A staffing platform should be both a front and back office solution, hosted in the cloud and providing features required today plus the ability to add additional features as you grow.
The benefits of cloud-based applications include:


    Eliminating the high cost of installing servers and hardware

    Avoiding the concern for data security and backup

    Focusing resources on placing candidates and not on fixing business processes

    Automatically providing functional upgrades

    Accessing the application from anywhere, on any device


 The Akken Staffing Platform has an open API which allows organizations to connect to any Cloud, Software as a Service (SaaS) or On-Premise application, providing dramatically faster time-to-value and lower cost of integration.
