Ceridian Launches New SaaS Solution

Jan 16, 2008 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Ceridian, one of the largest providers of human resource services in the world, has launched a Software as a Service (SaaS) HR system called Ceridian HRevolution, which offers mid-market clients the transformational functionality of an ERP through a simple subscription-based service with no user licence fees.

David Woodward, chief information officer at Ceridian in the UK, said: "We believe there are two core components to successful HR. First, you need to have the right tools and processes to deliver world-class employee service across the basics. Second, you need to have the insight and ambition to innovate in critical areas such as attraction, retention and performance that creates competitive advantage.

"Ceridian HRevolution is our next generation solution for managing people and is unique in combining the latest SaaS technology with world-class services to enable mid-market companies to excel in both these key areas. This allows HR teams to truly optimise the capability and potential of their people while minimising their reliance on in-house IT teams."

Available 24/7, 365 days of the year, HRevolution is based on a SaaS business model for applications deployment and management and has been designed to flex with organisational needs. Customers can contract for one or more of the human capital modules available according to their precise requirements. The scalability of the solution allows it to grow with the organisation.

With no user licences or forced upgrades, HRevolution breaks the traditional HR software model by eliminating traditional application management costs.

Customers pay just one subscription fee to cover multiple users for unlimited access. Ceridian also maintains and upgrades the underlying technology so customers do not have to rely on an in-house IT department. Furthermore, clients always benefit from the latest version, which is not only fully supported but also robustly secure and backed-up.

HRevolution is powered by intuitive and intelligent automation and pre-defined integral workflow based on best HR practice. Basic transactional processes via central HR are conducted more accurately, rapidly, efficiently and at lower cost.

Built on a .net platform with an SQL server, HRevolution is entirely web-based and features MS reporting services. The SaaS solution is protected by 128-bit security.

For mid-market clients, HRevolution enables the HR function to do the basics better - more accurately, efficiently and at lower cost - and to provide the strategic direction which will add demonstrable added value to the bottom line.
