Marlow: CIPHR acquires strategic partner PBS
Marlow-based CIPHR, a leading UK provider of HR software, has completed the acquisition of its long-term strategic software partner, Payroll Business Solutions (PBS).
The acquisition is seen as a natural fit, as CIPHR and PBS have worked closely for many years and already have more than 50 joint customers that benefit from integrated HR and payroll software, including household names such as Dreams, CitySprint and Zoopla.
Chris Berry, CIPHR’s CEO, commented: “We’re absolutely delighted that PBS is now part of the CIPHR Group. Not only can we now offer integrated HR, recruitment, learning and payroll software all from a single supplier, but we’re doing so with the support and expertise of one of the most professional payroll teams in the UK.”
Michael Polianskiy, founder of PBS, said: “This is the start of a really exciting new chapter in our history, one which I’m looking forward to being a part of. There’s no other HR software provider out there who is a better fit for us than CIPHR. Both companies have market-leading technology and market-leading knowledge of the HR and payroll arenas. For our staff and existing customers, it’s business as usual: our focus is on delivering stability, continuity, and, of course, brilliant levels of service.”
As a result of the acquisition, CIPHR is announcing two new solutions: CIPHR Payroll and CIPHR Outsourced Payroll.
