SurePayroll embraces mobile connection

SurePayroll, a company that bills itself as an 'online alternative to ADP and Paychex', offers small businesses a way to more easily and cost-efficiently attain payroll services, says TMCnet.

In addition to the ability to process payroll and access payroll data through the Internet whenever they like, small businesses are also being offered 401(k) plans, health insurance, HR compliance, and more.

“Businesses still want to be connected to their businesses even when they're away from the office, and mobile devices enable this to happen,” said SurePayroll president, Michael Alter. “If we didn't see the absolute transforming power the mobile phenomenon is having on business efficiency, we would have missed the mark in a big way,” Alter added.

Adec completes ERP

Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec) has completed the second phase of the enterprise resource planning project (ERP), says AME Info.

Through the ERP's second phase, which focuses on payroll and self-service systems, salaries of Abu Dhabi teaching and administrative staff were transferred from the Ministry of Education's payroll to Adec's payroll and the latter has sent them to banks.

The ERP phases were completed in a record time of four-and-a-half months and had covered an enormous number of staff – 14 658 employees. The second phase included the migration of data and information of all Adec staff, including the three educational zones (Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Gharbieh).

SAP banks on tech spend

SAP expected a rebound in sales this year, after revenue and profit slid in the fourth quarter as customers cut spending amid the economic slump, says Business Report.

Net income fell 12% in the quarter to €727 million (R7.77 billion) from €830 million (R8.7 billion) a year earlier. Analysts had predicted earnings at €736 million (R7.7 billion), the average of 16 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Revenue fell 9% to €3.2 billion (R33.7 billion).

SAP, whose software is used for payroll and customer relations management, is banking on companies spending on technology again. Chief executive Leo Apotheker is targeting growth in software and related-service sales of between 4% and 8% this year from €8.2 billion (R86.5 billion) in 2009.
