*UKHotViewsExtra* Access unveils its AI-powered HR solution

The Access Group unveiled a new AI-enhanced software solution, Access Evo, at this month's CIPD Festival of Work. TechMarketView spoke to Charles Butterworth, Managing Director Access People, and Oliver Quayle, Senior Director Access Platform, about the upcoming launch and how they think it will support HR professionals. An extended HotViewExtra version of this article is available here. 

Access Evo will draw upon Access Workspace, the company's cloud-based single sign-on platform, to ensure customers have a common user experience, with the initial focus being on supporting HR professionals. Access People, which is one of the Group's largest divisions, will roll out PeopleHR Evo, its HR solution for SMEs, and PeopleXD Evo, which is aimed at larger organizations. By embedding AI in these solutions, Access is aiming to reduce the admin load of HR professionals by reducing the need for lengthy and repetitive tasks.

Although the initial focus is on HR, Access Evo will be rolled out across the Group's nine divisions in the coming months and learnings from these use cases will feed into the company’s wider AI strategy. 

Like most companies, Access is making a big investment in GenAI. There is a huge amount of hype in the sector, coupled with a fear of missing out if you do not invest. This is leading to many half-baked and disappointing solutions hitting the market. However, Access is taking a considered approach that is based on user requirements and sensibly building upon existing efforts to integrate its industry solutions.
