Oct 6 : German software company SAP said on Tuesday it had agreed to buy TechWolf, a Belgian company that analyses workforce data to map employees' skills and tasks, for an undisclosed sum.
The deal gives SAP a view of its customers' workforces that its own HR software lacks, at a time when companies reorganise around AI and need to know which skills they have and which they are losing.
• SAP expects to close the acquisition in the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approval
• It plans to make TechWolf the core of its workforce software for planning hiring, retraining and reorganisation
