September 15, 2010

CHICAGO, IL – Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (Baker Tilly), is pleased to announce that Bryon Abramowitz has joined the firm’s Software as a Service (SaaS) and Human Resource (HR) Technology team to meet growing customer demand and rapid expansion of the firm’s consulting practice. In addition to serving clients, Bryon will work alongside the team’s leadership in expanding vendor relationships and building new practice areas for this high growth consulting service area.

Most recently, Mr. Abramowitz was a senior consultant and client executive at Knowledge Infusion where he helped Fortune 500 clientele develop and execute their HR technology strategies, process transformations, technology selections, and deployments. Previously, Abramowitz served as Knowledge Infusion’s Core HR leader, helping to build services in that market.

Abramowitz will draw upon his prior project management experience and 15 years of assisting global organizations with their HR technology needs at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Leo Burnett Worldwide, and The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago where he led various HR technology efforts internally and for clients.

“The HR technology market is rapidly shifting towards Software as a Service (SaaS) as the primary delivery mechanism and the skills necessary to deliver in this new model are dramatically different than traditional installed software packages," said a leading industry analyst, Bill Kutik, co-chair of the HR Technology® Conference September 29 through October 1 in Chicago’s McCormick Place. “Bryon has demonstrated that he not only knows how to be successful in this new era of software, but serves as one of the more visible advocates for HR moving in a new direction."

“HR Technology is a high growth, dynamic, and rapidly changing market," said Bryan Majewski, managing partner of Midwest consulting services at Baker Tilly. “Bryon’s deep background and unique skills in this area will support our client’s needs as our team delivers modern HR Technology solutions through in-depth knowledge and experience, enabling strong business results."
