APMG-International Selects Huddle to Support Secure Collaboration Across Its Global Network of Offices and Partners

LONDON — (Marketwired) — 07/23/13 — APMG-International, the global accreditation and examination institute, has selected Huddle-s next generation content collaboration platform to streamline and coordinate company-wide and external communications. Using Huddle, teams at APMG can securely share and work on content across the organisation-s global network of offices, which stretch from the UK to Australia, as well as external examiners and partner organisations worldwide.

APMG accredits training and consulting organisations worldwide as well as managing certification schemes for professionals, including ISO/IEC 20000, ISO/IEC 27001, AgilePMĀ® and Change Management. As such, the organisation needed a central online platform where it could set up both an intranet for employees and an extranet for external organisations, whilst also demonstrating best practice in security.

Huddle-s cloud-based content collaboration platform provides an easy to access intranet for all members of staff at APMG. The service provides the qualifications teams, accreditation teams and services desk with one secure central location for staff announcements, HR documents and references. As an extranet, Huddle will be the main source of collateral and information for external examiners, partners and other organisations, enabling them to access important documents and news directly from APMG. The company-s cross-platform log in means that Huddle can be securely accessed from any device, anywhere.

As an examining body holding organisations- sensitive information, security is essential. All company data must be kept secure and all exam questions must be kept under lock and key. Huddle-s pan-government accreditation at IL2 provides the required level of security for APMG-s content. Every action against a file is tracked and recorded via full audit trails. The content collaboration platform-s permissions and security measures ensure that control of who can access content is in APMG-s hands.

Prior to Huddle, APMG was burdened with a multitude of legacy systems, including SharePoint, which did not integrate or speak to each other. In addition, every update to the systems had to be coordinated by the IT department. Huddle gives APMG the flexibility to update workspaces within their own teams, helping them streamline processes and increase fast and efficient collaboration across the organisation.

“We wanted to consolidate several web-based systems into one intuitive, secure service that could be kept up to date and was easy to use,” explained Daniel Verghese, Web Manager, APMG. “We-re growing rapidly and need a platform that doesn-t just keep up with us, but stays one step ahead. Huddle is constantly innovating with its product and expanding and upgrading to meet our future needs.”

“When coordinating operations across a global network, it-s essential that your technology supports the workforce and enables people to get their jobs done. With teams now needing to work securely with people outside of their organisation, as well as colleagues that sit in the same building as them, it-s vital that there is a secure, central environment where everyone can work together seamlessly, regardless of location,” explains Alastair Mitchell, CEO, Huddle. “Our Enterprise Information Landscape study revealed that 28% of staff get frustrated with wasting time searching for documents and 65% of people continue to share documents via email. With Huddle, APMG has a platform where everything is stored in one location. It-s transforming the way APMG works and discussions can take place around key pieces of content, getting work done rather than just talking about it.”

Huddle provides next generation content collaboration for government and enterprises. Its patent-pending intelligent technology ensures relevant content is delivered directly to Huddle users, with no need to search. Business units of any size work more efficiently by huddling together within a secure cloud service accessed via web browsers, desktop or mobile devices. Co-headquartered in London and San Francisco and with offices in New York City, Huddle-s customers include 80 per cent of Fortune 500 and 80 per cent of UK government departments, as well as companies such as Kia Motors, SEGA, Unilever and P&G. The company is privately held and backed by venture capital firms DAG Ventures, Eden Ventures, Matrix Partners and Jafco Ventures. More information can be found at .
