Since 1989, Class language school software has been the most popular system worldwide, with many of their customers having been with them for decades.
“After a wonderful journey of 30 years, my business partner Graham Hacker and I had reached a point where we began thinking about passing our company on to the right partner. In Embrace we found a partner who not only valued our customers and staff but also brought a vision to enhance our products and grow our company into the future.” said Carol Davies, Co-founder of Infospeed.
“Infospeed has a strong team that takes pride in serving our customers. With Embrace bringing deep knowledge in software operations, the team is now looking forward to enhancing internal operations and accelerating into the next phase of growth.” said Gary Bulgin, Director at Infospeed.
Carol will work closely in an advisory role with Embrace to enable a smooth transition that is important with a change in ownership.
Gary will continue to lead operations at Infospeed, with a goal to rapidly grow the business and develop relevant technology solutions catering to the needs of Infospeed’s customers.
“The team at Infospeed has built a software that is loved by their customers and has stood the test of time.
