P&I is the premium supplier of integrated software solutions for human resources management, especially payroll, web-based personnel management and time management solutions.

In its latest financial year FY12/13, P&I generated revenues of €82.1 million and an EBIT of €24.0 million. P&I has been listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange since July 1999.
In 2009, The Carlyle Group, via its holding company Argon, acquired a 29.9% stake in P&I and following a voluntary public takeover bid subsequently increased their stake in P&I to over 90%.
