to improve business processes and minimize costs
Orlando, Florida— April 15, 2004 —
WorkStrategy Inc., a leading provider of innovative Human Resource
(HR) technology management services, and Kronos® Incorporated
(Nasdaq: KRON) today announced an engagement with Casio, Inc.,
whereby WorkStrategy will provide project management and implementation
support for the payroll component of Kronos’ Workforce
Central® suite. WorkStrategy and Kronos made the announcement
at the International Association for Human Resource Information
Management (IHRIM) annual conference being held this week
in Orlando.
Casio, a former Abra Enterprise HR customer that outsourced
its payroll function, is migrating to the HR and payroll applications
within Kronos’ Workforce Central suite. Casio has engaged
WorkStrategy to analyze the organization’s current outsourced
payroll environment and make best practice recommendations
for leveraging Kronos’ in-house payroll application
to improve business practices. Through its relationship with
WorkStrategy and Kronos, Casio expects to streamline its existing
payroll process, manage internal costs more efficiently, and
enhance the HR service delivery model.
“We selected Kronos’ HR and payroll solution
with the goal of reducing costs associated with support and
maintenance, and to reap the many benefits of buying a fully
integrated system,” said Pam Heinrich, HR Analyst at
Casio.
“After assessing the functionality and expected savings,
we were confident in the value of Kronos’ Workforce
Central offering. Furthermore, we expect WorkStrategy’s
functional approach and rapid implementation methodology to
enable us to improve our business processes, gain significant
efficiencies, and cost-justify this project.”
“Casio is committed to effectively managing the workforce,”
said Bill Larkin, Kronos vice president of HRMS solutions.
“Casio is keenly aware of the need to optimize its workforce
by supporting frontline managers with tools for finding the
best employees, developing their skills, and communicating
clear goals that match their corporate objectives.”
“By creating innovative solutions and delivering high
levels of customer service, Casio is working toward further
strengthening its position in the marketplace,” said
Brian McIntyre, WorkStrategy founder and CEO. “WorkStrategy
understands the importance of utilizing HR technology to reduce
administrative costs and improve workforce productivity. Our
consultants will enable Casio to align business processes
with corporate goals and leverage their investment in the
Kronos applications to achieve higher levels of performance.”
