February 3, 2012:  Professional Advantage, a staffing software solution provider, announced that Contemporary Personnel Staffing Inc. (CPS) and Professionals Inc. selected Professional Advantage’s Personnel Agency Management (PAM) and Microsoft Dynamics GP as their staffing software.  CPS first became interested in PAM when they attended a Professional Advantage webinar and learned PAM could integrate with their current software applications, specifically their front office solution from Bullhorn.  Originally they thought about keeping their current back office software and building an integration with Bullhorn.  However, since their back office was very antiquated, CPS felt it would have been too difficult to integrate. Once they saw what PAM could do with Microsoft Dynamics GP, and how seamless the integration was with Bullhorn, they were sold.  To read the complete article visit http://www.profad.com/news.htm or for more information, please visit www.profad.com.
