At Empowerists, were not just building businesses, were empowering people and organizations to reach their highest potential. Empowerists, originally founded as Diabsolut Inc by Joe Diab in 2003, began as a ClickSoftware reseller and has since evolved into a dynamic, multi-solution organization. In 2015, with over 70 employees, the company was restructured into three specialized businesses: Diabsolut FSM (ClickSoftware), Diabsolut Cloud Solutions (Salesforce), and Watershed CI (consulting and staff augmentation). Recognizing internal needs, Empowerists launched its own HRIS solution, HRWize, in 2016, which later expanded to include Earnwize and Workaxle. Following Salesforces acquisition of ClickSoftware in 2019, Diabsolut FSM and Cloud Solutions merged into a unified Salesforce Summit Partner. Strategic acquisitions of Foundry52 and Emelar in 2021 further solidified the companys expertise and led to a key partnership with Certinia, earning the title of Certinia Partner of the Year in 2022. Now with over 300 employees globally, Empowerists continues to grow by investing in its people, technology, and futurefocused solutions. #J-18808-Ljbffr
