MrTed's Cloud 9 Release Revolutionizes Talent Acquisition for Global Enterprises

LONDON, February 26, 2010 — MrTed announced today that users reaction to the newest release of its flagship product has been overwhelmingly favorable, particularly for the way MrTedTalentLink Version 9 — also called the Cloud 9 release – brings consumer-level friendliness to enterprise-level talent acquisition.

“This is an all-new breed of talent acquisition software, and its general release has met with a great response,” said Jerome Ternynck, CEO at MrTed. “Cloud 9 is a very special product. It transforms in the best way imaginable the user experience for an enterprise platform.”

Clients directly benefit of the advantages of the new release, MrTed has upgraded all its clients at the push of a button. Cloud 9 leverages the full potential of cloud computing. It is built on true service-oriented and open architecture, allowing for a world of application modules and an interactive, on-demand graphical user interface (GUI). The result is that Cloud 9 makes it easy for end users to personalize the solution to create the most suitable solution for their business.

“MrTed had said this version of MrTedTalentLink would be user-friendly, and it really is,” said Chris Herrmannsen, Group Managing Director of Ochre House. “It’s intuitive and easy to learn. Despite how robust and flexible the new design is, we didn’t need any training to start using the new features. We can already see how this will truly enhance our recruitment service delivery to our end clients and will make the collaboration with our client managers easier.”
