ADP’s On-Demand HRMS Direction
.
I saw this press release and got to thinking about ADP’s direction with HRMS. Why do I keep talking about ADP and why are they important? Being the 10,000 lb. gorilla in the payroll market, they are actually also one of the huge players in the core HRMS market as well. They have more HRMS…

Tax Credit Screening (and a few $100K)
.
A few days ago, I got an e-mail from someone requesting my thoughts on Projectix. The e-mail said, “I would say it [is a] TMS program. Wouldn’t you?” A few e-mail exchanges later, I basically said that it was not a TMS system, it was an TAS system. This was actually being nice because when…

Is ADP HRO #2 in the industry?
.
A recent ADP press release had a few interesting new facts. Apparently, 32 multi-national corporations have signed on for ADP’s HRO platform based on SAP. This is far more than I thought it would be, and in addition to ADP’s standard platform (ADP Enterprise) for U.S. domestic populations, I think this easily puts ADP in…

HR/PR Outsourcers – New Rankings
.
A reader recently wrote to me requesting my thoughts on payroll outsourcers and their HR products. This was written for a 500 employee organization. I’m posting because I don’t think I’ve ever ranked payroll outsourcers. Here are my verbatim comments below: I have not done any rankings purely on HR/Payroll outsourcers. Most of my knowledge…

Follow-up on HRO providers
.
In my post for Fidelity HRO, I listed my top 5 HRO vendors. A consulting colleague (of unknown firm) who works closely in the HRO space e-mailed me this follow-up: interesting view of the top 5 hro providers. i play heavily in this space as a hr consultant and not sure i would classify the…

HRO News
.
Here’s the link, but I’ve pasted some of the text below if you don’t have a log-in: There is a lot of proof out there that HRO and BPO are still going strong. Recent studies by The Everest Group, Workforce Magazine and others show the interest and implementation of HRO has expanded since the inception…

Paychex vs. ADP
.
For the vast majority of employers, Paychex is a viable option. If you have followed my blog with interest, and find the players I generally talk about to be potential vendors for your company, then you are probably a larger employer. Here’s an article from Motley Fool about Paychex. And here’s a quote: More important…

ADP’s SAP platform comes to North America
.
I’ve been hinting that ADP would go to SAP globally for HR/PR. The U.S. and central/south America will be the last ones, but here’s a press release saying Asia, Europe and Canada are on.

ADP and web services
.
I keep talking about ADP. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) but in my defense, they are the largest of the HR outsourcers. CIO Insight has a great article on what they are doing to create a seamless web portal for their multitude of services and systems. I’m not sure if any other traditional outsourcers…

HRO update
.
This is actually an Indian update on the HRO market, but it has some interesting facts and opinions. First off, I had no idea that Hewitt was creating an outsourcing center there, but it’s not a surprise. I’m sure that most organizations outsourcing call centers are looking at or going to India. An interesting opinion…

ADP v. Ceridian
.
I’ve been pretty clear in past posts regarding my preference for ADP over Ceridian. I have also been clear that Ceridian has more robust HR services. The market seems to agree with me, and if I take a guesstimate, 25% of the U.S. Fortune 2000 outsources payroll and/or HR to ADP, and only 5% does…

HR Technology News notes
.
I just got done saying how nobody out there in HRO could really implement international payroll in a single platform. There are exceptions out there of course, but I thought ADP was the closest due to their network of in-country subsidiaries to file taxes and do all the other compliance stuff. Looks like I was…

Fortune 500 list is out
.
As usual, ADP is up there. They are really one of the only HR services firms big enough to be on the list. With $7.7 billion in revenues, they are around #250 (I’m guessing – have not bought the issue). On the data services list, they are #5, and they also usually rank #1 most…

Time & Labor Management and tracking your key EE metrics
.
You know, I never talk much about labor management (because payroll and timekeeping is boring), but here’s a great example. If we take a quick inventory of our major systems, we have: Core HR Payroll Benefits Administration Labor Management (Time & Attendance) Compensation Management Recruiting Management Learning Management Labor management is actually a HUGE part…

Global Payroll Outsourcing
.
One of the major irritations to multinational companies attempting to manage their employees through a single database is the inability to outsource payroll to a single provider. Instead, if the MNC is in 20 countries, it’s likely they will have a centralized PeopleSoft or SAP HRMS with 15 or so interfaces to multiple payroll vendors.…

ADP hiring index for Background Checks
.
I’m very curious if ADP’s background check press release that the number of checks has tripled since 1997 is a realistic number. While I’m sure that as talent management has taken over the industry, the number of checks has increased in order (not to verify skills) to ensure the proper talent is aquired, I’m not…

Oh My God!!! Payroll Outsourcing
.
Ultimate is not the best payroll outsourcer. In fact, do they even really qualify for this category? Let’s talk Paychex, ADP and Ceridian. Now these are outsourcers. What’s the difference? A huge back room – the 3 REAL PR vendors above actually process taxes, submit NACHA (direct deposits), do garnishments, print checks, etc… Ultimate (I’m…

What’s up with HRO vendors?
.
The human resource outsourcing industry may be the fastest growth segment of BPO. However, the US HRO (HR BPO) market is in complete dissaray. Nobody has the entire service offering put together in a package that provides functionality and service in a proven model. Traditional service providers such as ADP and Ceridian may have the…
