12 January 2018 - French HR and financial performance enterprise software provider Talentia Software has closed the acquisition of Swiss consultancy Addedo, the company said.

This acquisition is an integral part of Talentia Software's strategy to extend its lead in corporate performance management software and become a key European player on this market.
