Both Microdec and CogniSoft will benefit from synergies across product lines and markets and enable both companies to accelerate the reach of their solutions across Recruitment, Connexions and Training Provider organisations.

Microdec and CogniSoft Stronger Together
With this transaction, the combined company will dramatically expand its addressable Local Authority market by making available its market-leading solutions to underpin the integrated youth support services (IYSS) provided by the Local Authority for the benefit of children and young people.

Microdec said it will continue to support each organisation’s product road map while enhancing products to help customers derive additional value from existing investments. It also stated that both companies’ development organisations would remain intact, with the opportunity to cross-collaborate to increase innovation for customers.
