FOCUS Learning has acquired P&RO Solutions, expanding its workforce performance software platform from training and qualification into work management, scheduling and asset reliability.
The transaction closed on July 31, 2026. Financial terms were not disclosed.
P&RO Solutions is a Glen Mills, Pennsylvania-based provider of work management and asset reliability software and services for nuclear, utility, power generation and other industrial operators.
In connection with the acquisition, FOCUS will begin operating under the FOCUS Performance brand, reflecting an expanded mission spanning employee training and qualification as well as the planning and execution of work.
FOCUS currently provides the VISION and Qlarity platforms, which are used by nuclear operators, utilities and other regulated organizations to manage training programs, qualifications, learning content and workforce readiness. Qlarity is used by more than 100 electric utilities to support NERC PER-005 compliance.
P&RO adds PaSTA, a workweek management application designed around established practices for planning, scheduling and executing work. PaSTA works alongside enterprise systems including SAP, IBM Maximo and Oracle Primavera.
The platform helps customers manage work backlogs, build and maintain workweeks, coordinate personnel and equipment and monitor schedule health. A companion mobile application extends those workflows to field operations.
FOCUS sees an opportunity to more closely connect employee qualification data with work planning so customers can identify workforce-readiness constraints before they create scheduling or operational problems.
P&RO also brings asset reliability capabilities through OPEX360 and an advisory business supporting customers in work management, asset reliability and outage execution.
The transition to the FOCUS Performance brand will occur in phases. Existing customer agreements, product relationships and support arrangements will continue without interruption, while the company’s legal entity will remain FOCUS Learning Corporation.
FOCUS Learning is a portfolio company of The Brydon Group.
KEY QUOTES:
“Our customers have to answer two questions about the same person every day: Are they qualified to do the work, and are they scheduled to do it? FOCUS has spent decades helping customers answer the first question. P&RO brings deep expertise in the second. Together, we have an opportunity to help customers connect workforce readiness more closely with daily work planning and execution.”
Jay Steele, CEO of FOCUS Learning
“FOCUS and P&RO share a deep understanding of the environments our customers operate in and the importance of getting mission-critical work right. Joining FOCUS gives us additional resources to invest in PaSTA and MoPaSTA while preserving the industry expertise and customer focus that have always defined P&RO. We are excited about what the combined organization can deliver for customers.”
Jack McElroy, President, P&RO Solutions
“FOCUS is building a differentiated platform around one of the most important challenges facing regulated operators: ensuring the right people are prepared and available to perform critical work. P&RO adds a highly complementary capability and deepens FOCUS’s ability to serve customers across the workforce-performance lifecycle. We are excited to continue investing behind the team, its products, and its customers.”
