ESS bags GIPC contract

Eastern Software System (ESS) has won a contract from The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) to implement its ERP product ebizframe for its services business, states PC World.

The implementation of the ERP product will focus on automating sales, procurement, inventory, finance, assets and HR payroll functions for GIPC.

"Our success in Ghana shall certainly make us more acceptable amid other government agencies and also the corporate sector in Ghana that we intend reaching out to," says Anil Bakht, ESS chairman and MD.

Cort Business Services, a provider of business and residential rental furniture, apartment locating and relocation services, has achieved efficiencies with Ultimate Software's UltiPro, reports Business Wire.

Delivered through Intersourcing, Ultimate Software's software-as-a-service model, UltiPro has enabled the 2 500-employee, nationwide company to abandon its previous multi-application approach of using an ERP vendor for HR, a service bureau for outsourcing payroll, and an in-house manual process for time and attendance.

Now, with UltiPro, Cort has one comprehensive system to handle its core HR processes, including payroll, benefits administration, online benefits enrolment, and time and labour management.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) recently purchased integrated HR and payroll software from solutions and services provider, Snowdrop, to enhance its management of employee data and streamline HR processes, says Paypershop.

The new software will replace the CIPD's existing HR and payroll systems, with the aim of providing a higher quality of information for better management reports and a fluidity of data processing that reduces time spent on HR and payroll-related administration.

All 300 of the CIPD's employees will have access to key areas of personnel data via the online system. They will be able to view and update a range of data, including address, emergency details and complete sickness documentation.
