Leading San Diego, CA Pharmaceutical Company Selects Sapien’s HRMS and Recruitment Solution

Sapien, a leading provider of HRMS and talent acquisition delivered in the Software as a Service (SaaS) model, today welcomes a leading San Diego Pharmaceutical company to the rapidly growing Sapien client base. This firm has selected Sapien’s HRMS and Recruitment solutions for immediate deployment. Sapien’s HRMS and Recruitment solution is an on-demand software program designed to automate and streamline the recruitment and HR processes. As a comprehensive applicant tracking system, it seamlessly integrates with Sapien’s proven HRMS and search technologies to consistently identify the most talented candidates.

A key differentiator in the selection process is the inclusion of resume parsing technology. The ability to literally shift overnight from a paper based resume tracking system to an integrated online solution that captures key data fields for searching, reporting and workflow processes, is a dramatic change. This capability will immediately provide clear return on investment and reduce manual processes required to track and manage the hundreds of resumes received per posting.

Sapien.Recruitment is a complete recruiting management system. When used as an applicant tracking system, it dramatically reduces overall hiring costs and streamlines complex workflows. The system also seamlessly integrates with Sapien.HRMS to further transition new hires into the core employee management system.

Additionally, the imbedded Organization Charting is a key differentiator to other vendors and proved to be a significant area of functionality that will eliminate other redundancies within the client organization. This capability is delivered as a standard feature, where other vendors required plug-in’s, partners and other add-on capabilities. “Having this capability as standard offering within the Sapien platform is a tremendous value add to our customers”, said Eric Lee, West Coast General Manager.

Sapien’s UK Partner Contracts two major HCM deals

Achmea

Leading financial services group uses strategic HR software tool to support focus on high performance

Achmea, the largest insurance company in the Netherlands has selected HRM Software’s HRM Connect ™ Executive to support succession planning and management development. The company, which is part of the privately owned financial services group, Eureko B.V, is piloting the system as part of a drive to improve operational excellence and performance across the group.

Initially, HRM Connect Executive will be used to actively manage the careers of some 600 employees at Achmea who either hold key positions or have been identified as high potential. The company plans to roll the system out further in the future.

Achmea worked with independent consultant, Roland Reffeltrath, to identify its requirements select the right software and manage the complete implementation programme. Radboud van Hal, Manager Corporate Management Development & Recruitment of Eureko/Achmea explains: “We chose HRM Connect Executive because it provided the best functionality for us. It provides enhanced, specialised features and is fully compatible with our core HR system, PeopleSoft. The software is already used by a number of large companies in the Netherlands, which was also important.”

A key aim for Achmea is to encourage a high-performance culture. With the new system, the management development team, executive board members and senior HR directors will have instant access to the information they need to plan strategically and to focus on helping key employees to meet their performance potential and prepare them for future career moves.

According to Radboud van Hal: “With HRM Connect Executive we gain a much better view of both performance and potential in the context of the needs of the business. This enables us to resource strategically. We can see where we need more people and where we might want to invest in training.”

Nick Bolton, Managing Director of HRM Software said: “Improving performance is a critical issue for every company today. HRM Connect Executive helps companies to do this by providing a clear view of where the resource potential is within the company and how it can be best deployed to support both individual career paths and to achieve long-term business goals.” Initially, the solution will be used to track and manage performance, training, career development and succession planning for around 1,000 key people, with plans to extend its use in the future. The software will be installed at Mittal's IT facility in Dubai, and accessed by Mittal's corporate HR team based in Rotterdam and London, as well as senior executives across the company.



Mittal

London - Mittal Steel, the world's largest and most global steel company, has selected HRM Connect Executive to support their worldwide executive development programme. Mittal will also implement HRM's integrated modules for training administration and organisation charting.

Initially, the solution will be used to track and manage performance, training, career development and succession planning for around 1,000 key people, with plans to extend its use in the future. The software will be installed at Mittal's IT facility in Dubai, and accessed by Mittal's corporate HR team based in Rotterdam and London, as well as senior executives across the company.

HRM Connect Executive was chosen because of its functional fit, the flexibility of its reporting and its accessibility and ease of use. This was especially important, as the system will be used by the CEO, COO and HR head in each of the 16 countries where Mittal has operations.

Alex Gardella, HR Manager at Mittal with responsibility for leadership development, explains: "Our top executives are responsible for building the skills of their teams and for succession planning. HRM Connect Executive will allow us to share data about key people and positions much more effectively. We'll benefit from a much clearer and consistent view of talent across the business, and better support for decisions at both a country and corporate level."

He adds: "Given our plans for the future, it is vital that we develop a pool of motivated managers that will lead the business in future years. HRM Connect Executive allows us to take a much more systematic and organised approach to identifying and developing our people than was possible before."

Sapien Chairman Interview

Sapien is a market leader in HRMS (Human Resource Management Systems) and HCM (Human Capital Management) software services, serving organizations with 100-100,000 employees. All Sapien services are 100% web native and offer integrated or modular functionality with cross platform reporting, query/search, workflow, setup/administration, and security/ roles. Sapien offers all services as a pure Subscription/ASP Software As A Service model.


Larry Janis’ interview with: Rick Roscitt Chairman, Sapien

LJ: How has outsourcing evolved since you started AT&T's network outsourcing practice in 1995?

RR: Outsourcing has evolved into the software application space. At AT&T, we saw strong growth in major organizational willingness to outsource their networks and technical infrastructure. Since about 2001, Software As A Service has taken root and the willingness is there to outsource entire applications (ASP) like Sapien outsourced HCM and HRMS offerings. Other software niches have been very successful such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) most notably with SalesForce.Com who has a market cap beyond 15 times revenue. In addition to bringing the ‘on-demand’ model to HRMS and HCM, we will be introducing ‘E-Provisioning’ technology that allows sub-200 employee customers to self engage the tools via a toolset off our web site and their credit card; we expect to release that this summer. We see the future of sub-500 employee HRMS Outsourcing market as becoming very commoditized and want to be the first one there leading the pack.

LJ: Having been a provider and a buyer of outsourcing, what insights have you gained about outsourcing?

RR: What we have learned at Sapien in the HRMS and HCM application outsourcing business, is that the contractual and financial model needs to be compelling, clear, and exude simplicity. Sapien offers a no up-front capital expenditure cost and a Per Employee Per Month price which truly covers all costs - nothing is hidden. Our experience is that if someone is going to adopt a pure subscription or outsourced approach, they don't want any capital expenditure and/ or hidden costs. The model has to be true -that's the lesson in the application outsourcing space we occupy. Some good examples are customers for HCM including Trammell Crow, Verizon Wireless, and Capital One. These customers adopted our solution not only for the functional capabilities, but the no capital expenditure made it easier for them to push the solution through a traditionally painful procurement and legal process. Verizon Wireless was closed in five weeks from first demonstration to contract which is unheard of in this industry.

LJ: What is your view on the emergence of BPO as a service offering?

RR: It is a huge opportunity. We have seen firms like Hewitt and ACS do well in the Human Resources BPO space and there are about a dozen major players all profiting when there were few than ten years ago. Sapien plans to (and already has) expand into the traditional BPO space especially in the mid-market which is vast and underserved; our platform for HRMS and HCM is a terrific foundation and we're looking to wrap services like Payroll, Benefits Administration, Call Centers, etc. around it. Currently, we’re adopting partners for various ‘services’ like resume parsing for example but in the future will like look to add on those capabilities ourselves and possibly make some acquisitions. The key is the strength of the software platform that is scalable and the shift from ‘custom’ to ‘configure’. We have a strong enough engine to wrap an entire HR BPO offering around it. We also feel that we have a strong VAR model that we want to expand on. We have one up and running currently and its been very successful. With that said, we intend to seek a VAR strategy for mid-market HRMS initially in every major city and market.

LJ: What is Sapiens' competitive advantage in the HRO sector?

RR: We believe we offer four key differentiators in this space.
1. We offer a fully integrated HRMS and HCM platform and either one separated out offers more integrated functionality then our competitors; our HCM platform, for example, integrates competencies, succession, performance, compensation planning, 360, org charts, survey, training administration, and recruitment.
2. Sapien offers a truly configurable platform with rapid deployment and quick ROI.
3. We have refined and pioneered the financial and contractual model.
4. We have built E-Provisioning tools that vastly reduce our labor cost and manages our en tire data center operations allowing us to scale very quickly and offer customers terrific pricing.

LJ: Who would benefit from your offerings?

RR: Quite simply, any company with more than 100 employees. Currently, our focus is on integrated HCM for Fortune 1,000 and HRMS with integrated HCM for mid-market or 250-5,000 employees. The reality and excitement for us however is there are many more markets we can address given the strength and breadth of our platform. Currently, there are about 400 customers worldwide ranging from 100 employee companies using our HRMS tools to many Fortune 1,000 companies, with tens of thousands of users, engaging our HCM services like Succession Planning.

About Integrated Search Solutions Group
We are a thirteen-year-old retainer based executive search firm that has successfully attracted top talent in the areas of Outsourcing (IT, BPO and BPM), Consulting (Strategy & Technology) and traditional IT functions (CIO, CTO, etc). We have worked effectively with major corporations as well as effectively with venture capitalized start-ups. Executive recruiters typically pride themselves in their ability to recruit top executives, irrespective of the industry. Leaders in outsourcing tell us a different story; outsourcers value what we do because we understand their business. Executive search in outsourcing is what we do.

Sapien Revolutionizes the HRMS Industry with the First Self Provisioning
Service for HRMS

What Henry Ford achieved with the assembly line and the 'Model T', Sapien will repeat with 'E-Provisioning' HRMS and HCM with Sapien.HRMS and Sapien.HCM services. Just like the assembly line made it practical to create automobiles that were low cost/high quality and offer them to everyone at a reasonable price so will E-Provisioning allow Sapien to achieve the same results by bringing enterprise quality HRMS and HCM services to a vastly underserved mid-market.

Sapien introduces self-provisioning tools for HRMS & HCM using the Sapien.HRMS and Sapien.HCM Editions. The E-Provisioning tools, as Sapien has coined the term for HRMS and HCM, will allow companies with less than 500 employees to E-Provision their HRMS and HCM needs with little, if any, intervention from Sapien. Following a simple customer questionnaire, E-Provisioning will create a trial site with customer data, security, and roles; existing robust configuration tools are available for the customer to address workflow, branding, reporting, setup, etc. An E-Commerce and Trial site engine will allow customers to choose from a variety of flexible and economical payment options based on the size of their organization. For customers beyond 500 employees, E-Provisioning will enable rapid and less expensive services for HRMS and/or integrated HCM - Sapien already offers the least expensive and fastest ROI service in the industry and typically, there are no up-front or capital expenses for either HRMS or HCM.

David Rossi, Managing Partner and CTO of Sapien states, 'We're truly excited to bring E-Provisioning to the HRMS and HCM marketplace and be the first to revolutionize the field as companies like SalesForce.Com have in the CRM industry. We're well into the prototyping phase of the tool, have been working on the project since January, and expect to have beta customers working out the kinks Q3/Q4 2005 with an official launch date of January 1st, 2006'. David goes on to say, 'Engaging an HRMS and/or HCM vendor has typically been an arduous experience, with E-Provisioning we intend to make feature-rich, integrated, easily deployable and configurable HRMS and HCM services a reality for smaller companies'. Mike Salzillo, a well known super architect and developer with deep knowledge of adaptors, provisioning, E-Commerce, and HR technologies joined Sapien full time July 1st as VP of Development to head up the project. Salzillo states, 'I am very pleased to join Sapien at this point in my career and have been looking for a project that will change an industry and E-Provisioning with the Sapien platform is just that'.

Sapien's HRMS and HCM services already are changing the marketplace given their ability to be rapidly deployed using a 100% web-native ASP, Software-as-a-Service approach and a truly configurable platform. Sapien is on track to win the race to the E-Provisioning model for HRMS and HCM and will be able to do so given the strength of the Sapien platform.

Sapien and HRM Software partner to launch web-native ASP services for HRMS and Human Capital Management in North America

Sapien, a leading US provider of HR software services and HRM Software Ltd., a UK-based developer of strategic HR software systems have partnered to launch award winning HRM Connect in North America. Sapien will brand and localize the products for the US and Canadian markets as Sapien and offer two services, Sapien.HRMS Edition and Sapien.HCM Edition to be deployed via Sapien's ASP Service Sapien.NET for on-demand, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for HRMS and Human Capital Management. Over the next several months, the Sapien.HRMS Edition will be developed into a self-provisioning model for companies with less than 500 employees in addition to current on-demand and SaaS deployment methodologies for mid-market and larger organizations.

The service, which has been built from the ground up around web and workflow technologies, provides comprehensive support for critical HR management and planning activities, including robust HRMS with integrated succession planning and leadership development, competency/skills management, career and development planning, performance management, compensation planning, training administration, 360 & survey, recruitment, and integrated organizational charting. The platform offers truly integrated navigation, menus, workflow, query, search, roles, security, and configuration tools across all functional areas.

Nicholas Bolton, Managing Director of HRM Software comments, "We're delighted to have won Sapien as a partner for HRM Connect, we are impressed with the experience and vision of Sapien's management team." He adds, "The partnership is also good news for our customers, many of whom are global organizations. Together with existing partners in Europe and Asia/Pacific, we'll be able to offer a more wide-reaching service."

David Rossi, Managing Partner, Sapien, says, "Sapien.HRMS Edition allows us to address the key technical and functional needs of the HRMS mid-market with employee counts of 500-5,000. We believe the service's combination of ease of use, impressive functionality, flexibility and web-native architecture gives it a significant competitive edge over similar products in the market. We're looking forward to working with HRM Software." David goes on to say, "Deploying Sapien via our Sapien.NET service will allow customers to rapidly implement low-cost, high value hosted software services for a mix and match of HRMS and HCM functionality. We expect to be very successful in the mid-market and our overseas counterparts have been winning deals with larger organizations, so we expect to be involved in larger projects with more than 5,000 employees as well. With our upcoming self-provisioning module, built by Sapien, which we're coining as E-Provisioning, customers with less than 500 employees will be able to self-provision HRMS"
