Oslo, Norway, May 3, 2011 – BrightArch AS, a leading provider of post-merger integration and organizational restructuring solutions, today announced they have been included in the list of Cool Vendors in the “Cool Vendors in Human Capital Management” report by Thomas Otter, James Holincheck, Jeff Freyermuth, and Koji Motoyoshi of the industry research firm Gartner, Inc.

In the report, Gartner suggests that IT and HR leaders rethink how to “manage mergers and recruitment by improving communication and increasing employee participation through social software."


BrightArch logoThe team at BrightArch has been rethinking how to better manage the complexities of staffing the right people to the right job after a merger or reorganization. Launched in 2010, OrganizationWeaver is their flagship software solution that allows for greater employee participation to reach optimal staffing decisions.

“We are pleased that Gartner has recognized OrganizationWeaver’s capabilities, which we believe make reorganizations more social and transparent than traditional methods,” said Tor Kielland, Chairman and CEO of BrightArch. “Done right, being social and transparent can have a significant effect on the bottom line.”

OrganizationWeaver has been developed to meet the specific needs of companies going through a reorganization process. “Companies have often had to choose between a quick or a quality reorganization,” said Kielland, “but OrganizationWeaver gives them the option to have both. The trick is to make and track decisions centrally that are based on insights from all areas of the organization.”

Based out of Oslo, Norway, BrightArch is focusing its efforts on providing OrganizationWeaver to European corporations.
