Collaboration - a core component of succeeding in the new economy

Xpedia and PBS are combining forces by linking their agile nuQ payroll solution and powerful S|CUBED HR solution.

Recent events led to Xpedia and Petros Business Solutions (PBS) forming an alliance to better serve their clients, both current and prospective. Xpedia (a multifaceted IT company) and PBS (an IT company specialising in strategy execution and human capital enhancement) have formally entered into a collaboration towards the end of 2013 and have subsequently started collaborating on joint clients, with the aim of radically improving ERP and people processes.

The collaboration is specifically focused on combining Xpedia's intelligent payroll solution, nuQ, and PBS's dynamic HR solution, S|CUBED, to provide clients with a holistic solution towards their HR and payroll needs. The collaboration will especially support the clients' bottom-line performance.

The integration between NuQ and S|CUBED makes it the logical choice for professional organisations planning to expand into Africa, decentralised multinationals and organisations aiming to be more competitive through enhanced human capital.

"As part of its core strategy to ensure end-user delight, we favour win-win collaborations on our platform and have a number of partner ventures adding value to clients. The Xpedia collaboration is particularly exciting when looking to the African continent," said PBS CEO Gerrit Stimie.

Xpedia's Anton van der Bijl was quoted as follows: "We're excited at the prospect of adding a complete human capital solution integrated with the nuQ payroll engine to our offering, something our customers have been requesting for some time. Even better, this collaboration isn't just a great synergy of products, but also combines the strengths of two organisations with similar values and processes."

In conclusion, both Xpedia and PBS have excellent skill elements and people integrity which render their intellectual capital extremely valuable. Their clear intention of delivering unequivocal customer value and solid track record of illustrating respective competence for more than a decade, makes this a very promising collaboration. The market has responded excitedly to the joint value proposition and both Xpedia and PBS are eager to serve greater HR and payroll business needs.
