t's no secret that technology is changing the way the world does business.
Internet technology, in particular, has become a powerful business tool. More
and more companies are using this technology to create internal Web portals for
their workforce. Now, companies can use the power of the Web to run key
applications, such as payroll, benefits enrollment and recruitment, as well as
centralize both internal and external communications.
By leveraging a Web workforce portal, organizations improve efficiencies
because authorized managers and administrators can complete common employee
administrative tasks, administer benefits, manage staff and access reporting in
real-time, from one central location. Employees can access important
information, get questions answered and complete routine updates instantly -
improving workforce satisfaction.
At Ultimate Software, we have brought these innovations into our solution.
UltiPro Workforce Management offers not just powerful payroll, HRMS and
Web-based self-service functionality, but also a Web portal that can serve as
your company's communications hub. The UltiPro portal allows you to network your
organization's people and processes - bringing them together for collaborative
information sharing. You can centralize remote locations, whether stores,
offices or warehouses, and link to third parties, like your 401(k) or benefits
providers. The end result is an empowered, more effective workforce.
Clearly the Internet is here to stay, and Web technologies continue to
advance at a swift pace. By implementing a Web workforce portal, your business
can leverage the many business benefits - including increased efficiency,
reduced operating costs and improved employee satisfaction - that Internet
technology is uniquely positioned to offer.
