Strengthening its business solutions with enhanced HR technology in the UK

LONDON – 11 February 2010 – ADP®, a leading provider of outsourced HR, payroll, employment screening, and time and attendance services, today announced it has acquired UK-based OneClickHR plc, a leading supplier of premier HR technology solutions to UK-based companies and multi-national clients.

By acquiring OneClickHR plc, which in the marketplace is better known as Vizual Business Tools, ADP will strengthen its HR offering by adding HR.net Enterprise. HR.net Enterprise is OneClickHR’s flagship application which is currently delivered through either a scalable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) or a traditional in-house model. The application provides annual appraisals, employee self-service, e-recruitment, performance management, talent management and salary reviews.

Don McGuire, Managing Director for ADP operations in the United Kingdom said, “Acquiring OneClickHR supports our ongoing strategic objective to provide innovative business services and solutions to our clients in the UK. The acquisition will create a broader suite of HR technology and tools, including e-recruitment, which compliments our existing web-based HR and payroll services solutions. The acquisition will enable us to deepen our functionality and provide greater configurability. We understand the pressures placed on HR professionals and we will continue to support our clients so they can focus on the strategic goals of their business.”

HR software is becoming an indispensable and ever more sophisticated tool for the profession. From the evolution of Software as a Service to clever e-learning tools and mobile technology, Helen Williams asks a wide selection of HR software providers and experts what they think HR will demand from software applications in 2010.

Frank Beechinor, chief executive at HR software provider Vizual says:

“I don’t think enthusiasm for SaaS has stalled – our SaaS clients have increased by 30% in the past year. The common perception is that you can’t offer tailored solutions through a SaaS model, but completely configured solutions are available, and the customer has the choice: we host, you host – you decide.

There has been increased use of workflow tools to allow easier automation of routine tasks. We see this trend continuing in 2010 and beyond. The future will be less about the data and more about what you do with the data.

We anticipate continued blurring of the lines separating HR systems and other business systems. In the past, many HR systems have been static, people data repositories used just by HR. The latest generation of technology allows easier, faster and more powerful integration. For example, when you recruit an employee there is no reason why your HR system cannot initiate an employee on the company network, or deactivate a user account when someone leaves.

There will be increased use of mobile computing, with managers able do everything from their mobile device, from looking at information to authorising requests.

There is also likely to be more consolidation of HR data and processes across borders. The emergence of the latest web-based and SaaS solutions has meant that global business can now have one HR system across the world that is easy to deploy and doesn’t cost the earth.”
