Head Software changes to Headfast

Specialist electronic publishing systems and Internet services company, Head Software International is re-branding itself as Headfast - the name of its text database technology.

For over twenty-five years, Head Software International has been supplying solutions for the knowledge industry - booksellers, information services, libraries and publishers - based on its packaged software such as Headline, Headform, Headset and Headfast. In recent years, the emphasis has switched to more bespoke solutions for in-house information management, CD-ROM publishing, websites and online information services on the Internet.

In their press release Mike Hyman, the Managing Director of Headfast, explains: "Our business is increasingly as much about providing high quality services like hosting and system implementation as developing new software. We therefore decided that the time was right to re-brand the company to reflect this evolution. Adopting the Headfast name was a very natural and logical choice. Indeed, many customers and prospects already think of us as Headfast because it's been at the core of our business and also our Internet domain name for many years."

The range of organisations currently using Headfast systems for the provision of internal and external information services include Nielsen BookData, Inspec, Waterstone's, CERAM Research, the British Nursing Index and Ellis Publications (part of the Thomson Corporation).
