Atlanta Equity Fund, a private equity firm with $109 million in capital under management, has completed the recapitalisation of Empower Software Solutions, says PR Newswire.

Orlando-based Empower is a player in the HR management solutions (HRMS) industry with a focus on mid to large enterprise employers (1 000+ employees) with over 100 of the Fortune 500 as clients.

The Company offers platform solutions across HR management/payroll, time and attendance, scheduling and tax compliance. Empower represents the only HRMS industry participant to offer and own all of its intellectual property, allowing clients the flexibility of outsourcing, hosting and/or licensing these core HRMS solutions.

Wackenhut Services, a provider of security services to business, industry, and government agencies, went 'live' on Ultimate Software's UltiPro in January 2009 and is now handling HR and payroll more effectively for 5 200 employees, including hundreds of employees stationed around the world, reports Business Wire.

Expanding to more than 100 locations in the past few years, Wackenhut had outgrown the in-house application it had been using before UltiPro and sought a scalable human capital management solution that could manage complex HR/payroll practices for a global workforce, while integrating more easily with other internal business applications.

The security company turned to UltiPro and completed its deployment under budget in January 2009.
