OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov 13, 2012) - Halogen Software closed its best third quarter on record, with notable 30 percent growth in annual recurring revenue year over year. The quarter was also marked by significant customer wins, high customer retention, key enhancements to the Halogen Talent Management Suite™ and a record setting customer user conference.

The company''s growth in the quarter was fueled by the addition of a number of organizations to its client roster across healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, public sector, technology and education sectors.

"We selected Halogen because of the flexibility of the solution to meet our unique management needs as well as the in-depth, customizable analytics and not forgetting the ease of use on the front end for our internal "customers" - our Team Members," said Julie Dobulis, HR Director, HEICO. "We have a large, diverse workforce in varied geographic regions and Halogen will help us to improve organizational alignment by not only automating our organizational development process but also by delivering a consistent structure across business units."

Davina Askin, Talent Management Executive at GSUSA explains why her organization selected Halogen and the importance of unique product features to their organizational talent strategy. "Girl Scouts of the USA is using the talent profile portion of Halogen''s eAppraisal module," said Askin. "Halogen''s search features, cost-effectiveness, and reputation for excellent customer service were key factors in our selection. Having our employees'' talent profiles will help us match our organizational needs with our existing talent more effectively and efficiently."
