We see that the needs of small and medium-sized companies are very different from the needs of large corporations, and the solutions they require are also different, "said Personio CEO and Co-Founder Hanno Renner. It's not just about the money they're willing to spend on IT, it's about investing in staff. Corporate solutions require special personnel who are engaged only in the implementation and management of the tool. We are introducing it in a couple of weeks, without requiring additional resources to operate it. These types of solutions are just very different.[1] |
