The Access Group named a Core Leader in Fosway 9-Grid™ for Cloud HR

Continuing its trend of excellence, The Access Group, a leading provider of business management software, has announced that its HR Solutions has been named a Core Leader in the 2024 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Cloud HR for a third year in a row. 

This prestigious recognition highlights Access’ ability to offer an impressive breadth of HR solutions, a solid track record for customer advocacy and strong performance in medium to large-scale organisations, with less complexity and at a lower cost of ownership than some Strategic Challengers and Strategic Leaders. This solidifies Access’ position among the top global players in HR software.

“In a tight labour market where growth is no longer a guarantee, both productivity and efficiency are paramount” commented David Wilson, CEO and founder of Fosway Group. “A solution that can streamline HR processes as well as improve accuracy and decision making could be the difference, and The Access Group once again show that they are ticking those boxes. Congratulations to them on retaining their position on this year’s 9-Grid™ for Cloud HR. 

Charles Butterworth, Managing Director of Access People, expressed his pride in the achievement: 

“This recognition from Fosway Group is a tremendous validation of our unwavering commitment to innovation, scalability, and agility. We are the UK and Republic of Ireland's largest independent HR solutions provider, and this external validation from Europe's leading analyst group is a powerful endorsement of our ongoing efforts. Our expansive and integrated suite of solutions empowers HR teams to cultivate people-centric organisations that can effectively navigate the evolving needs of the modern workforce.” 

Leveraging AI and People Analytics for Competitive Advantage
