MSD seeks HR solution

The New Zealand Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is seeking information on the possible purchase of a human resources information system and associated services, says IT Brief.

Formed in 2001 through the amalgamation of the Department of Work and Income and Ministry of Social Policy, the Ministry of Social Development's HR department provides payroll support services to 11 000 employees across 280 sites.

By moving to a digital HR system, the MSD hopes to streamline HR processes and improve accessibility of data, and improve record-keeping compliance and sustainability.

Patersons HR and Payroll Solutions, a global HR and payroll software and services business, has expanded its relationship with IBM Cognos, states Market Watch.

Under the terms of the redefined alliance, Patersons HR and Payroll Solutions is delivering IBM Cognos 8 seamlessly to its clients.

The integration with Patersons HR and Payroll Solutions brings HR and payroll data to the desktop, enabling HR professionals to conduct "what if?" scenarios and make fact-based decisions using both HR and payroll data.

Transportation carrier Dunbar Armored has implemented Ultimate Software's UltiPro for human resources and payroll, reports CBR Online.

Dunbar has also implemented UltiPro Time and Attendance, UltiPro Recruitment, UltiPro Performance Management, and UltiPro Learning Management delivered through Ultimate's software as a service (SaaS) delivery model, Intersourcing.

Because Dunbar Armored had been devoting IT staff to managing and maintaining the company's home-grown solution, company leaders were eager to switch to a SaaS solution like UltiPro through Intersourcing so Dunbar's IT team could concentrate on other core business applications.
