Bedford Funding is a private equity firm providing long-term capital to businesses in growing technology sectors with experienced industry focus in the software and IT services sectors, with a specific focus on human capital management and healthcare IT sectors. Our extensive operating backgrounds have led to a keen understanding of the opportunities inherent in technology enterprises. Bedford Funding was founded in 2006 with launch of its initial fund- Bedford Funding I- and recently raised Bedford Funding II in December, 2011. Bedford Funding makes investments worldwide from its headquarters located in White Plains, New York. Human Capital Management Software Bedford Funding has made several investments in PeopleFluent, a Human Capital Management (HCM) software company offering an integrated suite of products. Bedford believes that HCM software is becoming increasingly important for large companies, as it allows companies to manage recruiting, compensation planning, succession planning, learning, contingent workers (vendor management), workforce compliance and diversity, workforce planning and analytics, and social interaction. This market segment is consolidating at a rapid place. Recently, PeopleFluent has expanded its product offering through two new cutting edge technologies: Colossus is a powerful data integration cloud service that transforms all employee data and third party data into "liquid" data that integrates with PeopleFluent's applications seamlessly. No need for an HR Information System consolidation or custom integrations - with PeopleFluent Colossus, data moves fluidly between all applications from a consolidated data load, streamlining integrations and reducing complexity both during the initial implementation and on an ongoing basis. Mirror Suite is the solution for today's engagement challenges. Built around people not HR processes, the Mirror Suite integrates innovative video and social technologies into all talent applications. The system delivers a deeply personalized and collaborative experience that drives incredible talent engagement and improved business performance.
