HRchitect Tech Vendor News: CloudPay Launches Enhanced Global Payroll Reporting Functionality, CloudPay Insights

Company’s Latest Innovation Enables Businesses to Leverage Big Data to Understand Their Payroll Process, Drive Positive Results and Make Better Informed Decisions

RALEIGH, N.C. and LONDON, U.K. (August 19, 2014) – CloudPay, the pioneer of SaaS-based payroll automation for multinationals, today announced details of CloudPay Insights, its enhanced global payroll reporting solution. This robust capability gives organizations the ability to leverage big data to gain greater transparency into the real-time costs associated with their workforce by digging deep into their own comprehensive, multi-country payroll data.

 

In today’s competitive business environment and still volatile economy, multi-national organizations must be able to respond and adapt to changing market conditions as rapidly as possible. CloudPay Insights solves this challenge by enabling companies to identify key workforce trends in their global payroll data to drive and support well-informed business strategies. Though often overlooked as a source of record, the information contained in a company’s payroll data reveals crucial statistics on the true costs of compensating employees around the globe. Given the rise of big data and the benefits of utilizing the massive amount of information now available, CloudPay gives employers the tool to drill down into this data to identify hidden costs, spot important trends and make more effective business decisions.

 

The need for such a solution is a pressing one. According to research from the MIT Sloan Management Review and SAS Institute, a majority of professionals reported that their organizations are under pressure from senior managers to become more data driven and analytical. Yet, only 42 percent said they frequently have access to the data they need to make key decisions. At the same time, a report from McKinsey & Company found that the three factors necessary for developing a successful data-driven strategy are: choosing the right data, the ability to predict and optimize business outcomes, and transforming the company’s capabilities. CloudPay Insights provides organizations with the tools to achieve those three aspects. As a result, companies can access real-time reporting metrics on their payroll data, enabling them to act on this information and bring immediate improvements to their payroll operations.

 

CloudPay Insights can be used at all levels of the organization. Senior business leaders benefit from accessing data across their global enterprise to gain a better view of profit and loss, the expenses around payroll taxes and benefit deductions, and the overall costs of doing business. The solution also gives regional and business unit leaders the insight into the costs associated with hiring for specific positions in various regions, helping to drive decisions about where talent should be placed. At the same time, HR and payroll managers and practitioners can easily access audit reports and other key data that provides tactical information about the workforce they need on a day-to-day basis.

 

Innovative features of CloudPay Insights include:

• Enhanced dashboarding capabilities: Users of CloudPay Insights have the flexibility to create and customize their own reports without having to use pre-built templates, ensuring they leverage the most relevant information.
• Improved workspace functionality: This feature allows users to create reports with relational or dimensional data sources, enabling deeper analysis, report authoring and advanced data exploration.
• Faster performance: CloudPay Insights includes developments such as null suppression optimization and in-memory caching for performance gains, enabling users to greatly reduce the amount of time they spend creating reports.

These improvements will lead to significant benefits for CloudPay’s clients, such as:

• Improved decision making: Stakeholders receive needed information, such as headcount, leavers and new hires per country or legal entity, in a targeted, actionable format personalized according to their areas of responsibility to support informed decisions.
• Increased operational efficiencies: The solution eliminates the need for labor-intensive data collection, consolidation and reporting, giving users access to CloudPay’s single, unified payroll information repository.
• Cost reductions: With better business intelligence to understand the big data available and make critical decisions, organizations can streamline their processes and reduce the costs associated with payroll.

“Although the payroll function contains significant information that can help shape business decisions, set goals and priorities and optimize workforce strategy, many companies neglect to mine this data or simply lack the tools to do so effectively,” said Andrew Pearson, CEO of CloudPay. “Necessary for effective global payroll reporting is having a common technology platform that can compile the vast stores of payroll data from across the enterprise and transform it into actionable information. CloudPay stands alone in the payroll management space as the only provider to offer a common technology platform that delivers the business intelligence to make well-informed decisions about the costs and processes of compensating their global employees.”

HRchitect Tech Vendor News: WorkForce Software Reports 108 Percent Rise in SaaS Bookings, Strong Performance Through First Half of 2014

Company Reports Robust Growth as More Organizations Recognize

Benefits of EmpCenter, its Cloud Workforce Management Solution

LIVONIA, Mich. (August 12, 2014) – WorkForce Software, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for organizations with complex labor policies and stringent compliance demands, today announced details of its strong performance and robust growth achieved in the first half of 2014. During this time period, the company welcomed many new clients, received a majority investment and extended its lead in cloud-based workforce management solutions for large employers.

“WorkForce Software’s history is characterized by continued growth and improved year-over-year performance, and that trend continued through the first half of 2014,” said Kevin Choksi, CEO and co-founder of WorkForce Software. “We expanded our reach in numerous industries and formed several strategic relationships that enhance our position in a dynamic workforce management market.”

Sales Growth and Client Wins

Overall, WorkForce Software experienced substantial and sustained growth in the first six months of 2014, with total revenues up 48 percent over the same period in 2013, led by rapid adoption of EmpCenter®, the company’s enterprise workforce management suite. As a result, SaaS bookings have risen by more than double (108 percent) compared to the first half of 2013, and SaaS revenues have increased 77 percent over the same time period.

New clients represent large employers in a range of industries, including technology, healthcare, oil and gas, financial services, training and professional education, public sector and utilities. The company also had a strategic win in the European market, attracting a Switzerland-based global reinsurance company. WorkForce Software also cemented its leadership position in fatigue risk mitigation for the petrochemical industry, welcoming two new clients in this sector, a Canadian integrated energy company and a chemical company based in Louisiana.

Additional new clients added in the first half of 2014 include:

• A national nonprofit organization committed to helping education institutions measure and improve learning outcomes
• A global supplier of health care information technology solutions, services, devices and hardware
• The most populous county in Illinois, providing services for more than 5 million residents
• The eighth-largest church in the U.S.
• One of North America’s most diversified construction companies, serving the building, heavy industrial, civil and infrastructure, mining, pipeline, power and communication sectors
• A leading provider of semiconductor and system solutions for communications, defense and security, aerospace and industrial markets
• A leading provider of secure portable storage solutions
• New England’s largest utility system serving more than 3.6 million electric and natural gas customers
• A national natural gas distributor serving over one million residential and industrial customers
• An American natural gas utilities holding company
• One of the oldest and largest medical providers in the Greater Cincinnati region
• The State of Delaware, which became the second state to leverage EmpCenter across all state agencies

Industry Recognition

WorkForce Software’s rapid growth has been noticed by competitors, customers, industry analysts and the media alike. In particular, the company was recognized by Gartner as one of the four fastest growing vendors by Total ERP Software Revenue, Worldwide for 2013 outside the top 10, in the research firm’s Market Share Analysis: ERP Software, Worldwide, 2013 report, released on May 5, 2014.

Bill Kutik, leading independent analyst of the HR technology marketplace, commented, “Successful workforce management is more difficult than ever. Employers must not only have tools to automate key workforce processes like time and attendance and absence management, but also keep up with rapidly changing legislation and compliance. Many of the best-of-breed vendors, including WorkForce Software, also have critical workforce scheduling functionality, processes so large and complex that many broader HR tech vendors don’t even try to copy them in their Time & Labor modules.”

Holger Mueller, principal analyst and vice president of Constellation Research, Inc., commented, “Compliance demands, the enormous potential of cloud delivery and greater competition for top talent have led many organizations to rethink their workforce management processes. Regardless of industry, today’s organizations seek solutions that can automate key processes, such as time and attendance, absence management and scheduling, in order to remain competitive and minimize risk.”

Majority Investment

In April, WorkForce Software announced another strategic step to accelerate its next phase of growth. New York-based Insight Venture Partners assumed a majority equity position in the company, bringing substantial resources and a pedigree in cloud-based technology to the partnership with WorkForce Software. The investment and partnership with Insight Venture Partners serve to further fuel WorkForce Software’s global expansion.

Strategic Alliance

Another key to WorkForce Software’s success is its ability to partner with other organizations that extend and increase the value of its solutions and services. In May, the company announced its strategic alliance with Benefitfocus.com, a leading provider of cloud-based benefits software solutions. Through this partnership, WorkForce Software has joined the company’s app program, giving users of the Benefitfocus HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE™ convenient access to EmpCenter.

Vision 2015

WorkForce Software recently announced details of its next user conference, Vision 2015. The event, which brings together workforce management professionals from numerous industries and countries, will be held April 19-22, 2015 at the Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort and Spa in Henderson, Nevada. Vision offers attendees a range of educational sessions covering crucial aspects of workforce management, including timekeeping, attendance tracking, scheduling and leave management.

Looking toward the Future

“The first half of 2014 has been quite eventful, and more large employers have recognized the value of our solutions and the expert, responsive service that you can only get from a company dedicated to workforce management,” said Choksi. “Combined with increasing industry recognition, the backing from Insight Venture Partners and an expanding partner network, this sales momentum enhances WorkForce Software’s role as a top provider of enterprise cloud solutions.”

CHICAGO, IL. (August 12, 2014) – Hireology, the leading provider of employee hiring and selection management technology for multi-location organizations, today announced that it has raised $10M in Series B funding from Bain Capital Ventures.

HRchitect Tech Vendor News: Bullhorn Acquires The Code Works Inc. to Power Cloud-Based Data Integration and Intelligence

Bullhorn, the global leader in customer relationship management (CRM) software for the staffing and recruiting industries, today announced that it has acquired The Code Works Inc. – the makers of VMS Access, a cloud-based software product that integrates corporate procurement and vendor management systems (VMS) like SAP’s Fieldglass with CRM systems. VMS Access currently automates the data integration and workflow for filling job openings at over 350 of the world’s largest companies and enables staffing agencies to increase service levels, win more business, and improve productivity by reducing time-to-fill and data entry time.  As companies of all sizes migrate to SaaS-based services, Bullhorn will leverage The Code Works Inc.’s multi-national R&D team to develop integration solutions that will power new services enabling front office productivity improvements through the Bullhorn platform.

Key services offerings to be developed on the platform will include those for managed service providers (MSPs). Bullhorn currently provides client portals, candidate portals, and vendor portals to enable staffing agencies to act as MSPs or sub-vendors and operate different lines of business within Bullhorn, and the company will use The Code Works Inc.’s technology as a platform upon which to further develop technologies that enable agencies to operate and compete effectively in a world in which VMS usage is proliferating. The Code Works Inc. team’s much-valued industry knowledge in combination with considerable R&D resources from Bullhorn will help take Bullhorn’s existing MSP offering and accelerate it into an industry-leading suite of solutions to benefit staffing agencies of all sizes looking to capitalise on this rapidly-growing market.

Bullhorn acquires The Code Works Inc. as contingent labour demand is soaring thanks to increased globalisation, outsourcing, and the growing costs of hiring and retaining permanent employees. Addressing this trend, 70 percent of large buyers of temporary labour (including Fortune 500 companies) are now leveraging VMS solutions to streamline contingent workforce management. Spend flowing through VMS systems is growing at a rate of more than 20 percent per year – considerably faster than growth in overall staffing spend. The acquisition of The Code Works Inc. adds a proven, seamless integration between core recruitment system providers to enable agencies to take advantage of a market worth £24.1 billion in the UK alone.

“With this acquisition, we’re enabling companies to move their front office solutions to the cloud and to take advantage of Web-enabled services that power better decision-making and additional revenue opportunities,” said Art Papas, Founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “Bullhorn VMS Access will help drive Bullhorn’s growth in the VMS industry and beyond. This vendor neutral solution extends Bullhorn’s product portfolio and will allow us to develop new offerings to help improve customer productivity. Long-term, the Bullhorn VMS Access development team will help drive the development of Bullhorn’s data integration offerings, fundamental to our cloud-based Big Data offerings.  To drive better decision-making, companies are looking to integrate data from a variety of sources online; Bullhorn VMS Access will provide that engine for our customers.”

Jonathan Novich, Co-Founder and President of The Code Works Inc., will become Bullhorn’s new General Manager of Cloud-Based Integration Technologies. “I’m thrilled to be joining Bullhorn for several reasons,” said Novich. “First, they’re the clear market leader, so it makes good business sense to be aligned with them and to leverage their expansive resources to grow our offerings and provide better service to customers. Being a part of the Bullhorn family will enable rapid product expansion and accelerated platform development for customers of Bullhorn and The Code Works Inc. Beyond that, they have a strong vision for the future with Bullhorn providing a comprehensive set of cloud-based, front office services to help companies manage their customer relationships better. We’re excited to be part of that vision.”

HRchitect Tech Vendor News: Take the Interview CEO Danielle Weinblatt Selected as a 2014 Workforce Game Changer

Company Co-Founder and CEO Recognized for Recruiting Industry Foresight and Continued Innovation 

NEW YORK (August 6, 2014) – Take the Interview, providers of the comprehensive cloud and mobile technology platform that solves the challenges of the interviewing process, announced today that company co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Danielle Weinblatt, was selected by Workforce magazine as a 2014 Game Changer.

The fourth-annual Game Changers awards recognize those next-generation workplace leaders under the age of 40 who have proven themselves dedicated to the growth and success of the HR world. All nominees were judged on their professional accomplishments as well as their other achievements, with the winners selected by Workforce’s senior writers and editors.

“As a leader, Danielle pushes Take the Interview to think beyond the immediate in order to deliver interview management solutions that enable recruiters to better understand and engage with today’s top talent in order to improve hiring across their organization,” said Anthony Cintron, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Take the Interview. “The consummate problem solver, Danielle is the driving force behind TTI with business savvy and industry acumen needed to change the game. She is truly visionary.”

Weinblatt co-founded Take the Interview in 2012 after recognizing a number of inefficiencies in the interview process, including wasted time screening poor-fit candidates. Working to find a better solution for companies and job candidates alike, Weinblatt launched TTI to solve problems across the entire interview process by optimizing communication, standardizing processes, reducing complexity and streamlining workflow, regardless of the interviewing medium being used (video, phone, in-person). Dedicated to researching and developing solutions that solve companies’ complex HR and recruiting challenges, Weinblatt leads TTI as it transforms talent acquisition with its Interview Management Platform™, the only comprehensive cloud and mobile technology platform specifically developed to optimize the interviewing process.

A well-regarded thought leader in the HR technology space, Weinblatt is a sought after public speaker who recently appeared at #HRTechTank, the iRecruit Expo in Amsterdam and the South by Southwest (SXSW®) Conferences & Festivals. Weinblatt’s professional experience and business philosophies have also appeared in Forbes, Inc. magazine and The Huffington Post.

“It’s exciting to be named a Game Changer by Workforce magazine for my work with Take the Interview,” commented Weinblatt. “Having worked as a hiring manager, I understand the challenges associated with the talent acquisition process as well as the impact that a poor quality of hire can have on the bottom line, and it’s those problems that TTI aims to solve with our Interview Management Platform.”

HRchitect Tech Vendor News: Findly Enhances Candidate Engagement with New Pollinators Innovation

Company Offers Out-of-the-box Integration of Lead Capturing Solution with its Keeper ATS to Enhance Talent Acquisition Process

SAN FRANCISCO (July 30, 2014) – Findly, the on-demand talent market leader and a Symphony Technology Group (STG) company, today announced the integration of its latest innovation, Pollinators, with its Keeper ATS, in order to improve the way employers find great talent. Through this latest product release, the company has integrated Pollinators, which are highly effective lead-capturing connectors that can be placed anywhere a job seeker engages with a company, with Keeper ATS, the company’s mobile-optimized applicant tracking system.

 

Now standard for all Keeper users, the integration brings significant improvement to the way employers identify, engage and hire top candidates. Companies benefit from extending their employment branding into their Findly Pollinators and easily capture job applicants into their Findly Talent Hive, giving them the ability to engage the talent community with new jobs and pinpoint specific positions for highly qualified candidates. Additionally, when applicants identified by a pollinator return in the future, their profile information can be updated automatically.

 

Findly’s goal is to change the way companies connect with top talent and streamline the process for hiring managers and candidates alike. With competition for top talent with in-demand skills greater than ever, recruiters need a comprehensive approach for engaging with candidates wherever they are. Job seekers increasingly expect the application process to be easy, intuitive and fast, and provide them with an overall positive candidate experience. By linking lead-capturing activities to the Keeper ATS, both parties benefit from a more streamlined, user-friendly and effective talent acquisition process.

 

Key features from this new release include:

• Branded Pollinators: Candidates are presented with sharp-looking, custom-branded experiences that convey the experience of working for the company to help attract right-fit talent.
• Relevant Experiences: The integration of Pollinators and Keeper ATS enables employers to maximize lead capture when candidates apply to jobs, log in or want to join a talent community.
• Integration of Findly Product Portfolio: Pollinators add candidates into the employer’s Talent Hive, pass along a candidate’s email address into Keeper and update the Talent Hive profile information for returning applicants, creating a more streamlined process for finding and connecting with job candidates for truly on-demand talent.

“The ability to engage with candidates through a number of avenues, such as careers sites, social media, job boards and more, and present a fully branded experience is essential not only to finding qualified talent, but keeping the best candidates engaged,” said Jeff Kreutz, Findly’s senior vice president, Products. “By integrating Pollinators with Keeper ATS, hiring managers benefit from a simplified way to keep real-time information about their candidates, while providing a more engaging experience that keeps those individuals active members of their talent community.”

HRchitect Tech Vendor News: State of Delaware Selects WorkForce Software to Consolidate Key Workforce Management Functions

Enterprise-wide Deployment Will Yield

Process Efficiencies and Enhance Reporting

LIVONIA, Mich. (July 29, 2014) – WorkForce Software, a leading provider of workforce management solutions, today announced the State of Delaware has selected the company’s EmpCenter® suite to automate time, attendance, leave and scheduling functions for all state agencies. WorkForce Software was one of several vendors the State of Delaware considered in a highly competitive selection process.

Historically, the differing needs and complex requirements of the many Delaware state agencies had prompted each to manage time, schedules and leave with separate systems. Recognizing the potential for improved consistency and cost savings, the State planned an initiative to consolidate these critical functions through an enterprise-wide, cloud-based software solution. Critical requirements included the ability to cover all employee groups, provide greater efficiency of scale and reduce infrastructure and operational expenses.

The simple web-based time entry and time-off request features provide a more convenient experience for employees.  Proactive alerts, real-time monitoring of schedules and labor costs, and detailed reporting will all help managers work more effectively. Moreover, WorkForce Software’s unique leave case management capability, which consolidates all documents and timelines related to an FMLA or other leave type, allows for a comprehensive workforce management solution from one provider.

“Large employers in all industries are seeking ways to improve the predictability, consistency and cost-effectiveness of their time, scheduling and leave management practices. EmpCenter represents an ideal solution because it allows those organizations to gain greater visibility and control, while simplifying the day-to-day tasks for managers and employees,” said Michael Jepsen, senior vice president of Sales for WorkForce Software. “We are excited to work with the State of Delaware and help it achieve greater cost efficiencies through an enterprise approach to workforce management.”
