Kaspersky Lab bought 49% of the Russian Forpeople company (under the ForPeople brand).

The main company product is GP OrgManager, which provides digitalization of management and basic HR processes of enterprises. Previously, one of the company’s main rivals in Russia was the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central platform.

Kaspersky Lab notes, the company had no similar projects in the field of HR technologies before the deal, so now the anti-virus company is entering a new market.

Kaspersky Lab plans to sell ForPeople solutions in Russia, and it will gradually extend abroad. In particular, the company plans expand into the markets of Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, China, India and Brazil.

In the near future, ForPeople will broaden the platform functionality related to performance assessment, compensation management and personnel cost budgeting.
