Ideagen's latest acquisition set to revolutionize compliance
Nov 22, 23
Ideagen, a leading provider of software solutions for regulated industries has today announced the of acquisition of Australian tech disruptors Op Central, in a move they say could revolutionize the way organizations approach compliance.
Speaking about the deal, Ideagen CEO Ben Dorks said: "The acquisition of Op Central enables Ideagen to provide something that every compliance professional desires: time.
"Productivity is a huge concern for businesses globally and is increasingly being discussed at board level as reduced productivity impacts both the top and bottom line.
"With organizations being forced to do more with fewer or the same resources, the one element that cannot be compromised is compliance. Ideagen Op Central and it's AI functionality will do the heavy lifting for organizations on essential but time-consuming tasks, freeing up people to focus on adding the value where it makes the biggest difference."
Headquartered in South Yarra Victoria, Op Central is Ideagen's third Australian acquisition of 2023, following on from collaboration and compliance solution Ideagen OnePlace Solutions in May and Health safety and quality software Ideagen Lucidity last month, further emphasizing the wealth of tech innovation incubating in the continent.
The innovative AI solution can create standard operating procedures, processes, and supporting learning materials and distributes them to multi-site locations in a matter of seconds.
Content can be tailored using AI to meet the regulatory requirements of different geographies, and any central changes will automatically update across all documents and learning material, reducing risk of out-of-date procedures being followed.
This is vitally important to maintain safety and quality in a world where the pace of regulatory change can be fast and complicated. Organizations can confidently ensure a single source of the truth to protect their customers and operations.
Josh Cairns, CEO of Op Central, added: "Joining Ideagen brings immense opportunities for Op Central and we're excited about the possibilities this could unlock.
"We know our customers see our platform as a game changer in helping them manage multi-site operations. Our tech, combined with Ideagen's reach and resources, means we can empower more organizations globally to increase their operational consistency.
"We're thrilled about the potential this move brings, as it sets the stage for a new chapter of growth for us."
More than 13,000 businesses across 37 countries already use Op Central to streamline their procedures and processes and carry out site audits and quality control. They have a strong presence among franchise and multi-site businesses, but there is a huge opportunity to build on this as businesses internationally look to improve productivity and leverage AI to undertake important compliance tasks.
With more than one million daily users of its quality, risk, audit, health and safety and collaboration solutions, Ideagen understand the challenges organization's face in today's complex and increasingly volatile business market.
The agility and pace of change that businesses are operating in makes the functionality of Op Central and its ease of implementation an attractive prospect.
Op Central is Ideagen’s sixth acquisition of 2023 following Qadex (now Ideagen Quality Management Food and Beverage edition) in January, Ideagen Tritan and Ideagen OnePlace Solutions in May Ideagen DevonWay in September and Ideagen Lucidity in October.
