Ideagen, a provider of software solutions for regulated industries, has acquired Australian tech disruptors Op Central.
Ideagen CEO Ben Dorks said: “The acquisition of Op Central enables Ideagen to provide something that every compliance professional desires: time.
“Productivity is a huge concern for businesses globally and is increasingly being discussed at board level as reduced productivity impacts both the top and bottom line.
“With organizations being forced to do more with fewer or the same resources, the one element that cannot be compromised is compliance.
“Ideagen Op Central and it’s AI functionality will do the heavy lifting for organizations on essential but time-consuming tasks, freeing up people to focus on adding the value where it makes the biggest difference.”
Headquartered in South Yarra Victoria, Op Central is Ideagen’s third Australian acquisition of 2023, following on from collaboration and compliance solution Ideagen OnePlace Solutions in May and Health safety and quality software Ideagen Lucidity last month.
Josh Cairns, CEO of Op Central, added: “Joining Ideagen brings immense opportunities for Op Central and we’re excited about the possibilities this could unlock.
“We know our customers see our platform as a game changer in helping them manage multi-site operations. Our tech, combined with Ideagen’s reach and resources, means we can empower more organizations globally to increase their operational consistency.
“We’re thrilled about the potential this move brings, as it sets the stage for a new chapter of growth for us.”
Op Central is Ideagen’s sixth acquisition of 2023 following Qadex (now Ideagen Quality Management Food and Beverage edition) in January, Ideagen Tritan and Ideagen OnePlace Solutions in May, Ideagen DevonWay in September, and Ideagen Lucidity in October.
