TFPL grows and benefits from acquisition

Recruitment specialist TFPL has benefited and grown from its acquisition by document management (DM) software vendor IDOX, according to Richard Pinder, Director.

TFPL has become two divisions of the IDOX parent company, with IDOX concentrating on its core strength, DM software for government clients. TFPL Information Solutions is the new division joining TFPL Recruitment.

The new Information Solutions division will build on the existing consultancy and training services offered by TFPL. "We have been report driven, now we want to be delivering results," Pinder said of the move towards getting involved with companies and helping them integrate new information management technology. "Most of our clients have bought an enterprise content management (ECM), Search or cataloguing technology and can't get it to work."

Pinder said the new division is in reply to a large amount of "confusion still around" about information management.

TFPL will not be leaving its traditional routes though, with recruitment and the EBIC conference still high on the agenda. Pinder, as of today, will lead the new Information Solutions division. He joined the IDOX group earlier this year from search and e-government specialist APR SmartLogik.
