NorthgateArinso to deliver outsourced talent management based on SAP ERP Human Capital Management

NorthgateArinso today announced a business process outsourcing (BPO) agreement with SAP AG, extending NorthgateArinsoís BPO services ëPowered by SAPí. It will enable NorthgateArinso to deliver additional services further up the HR value chain, expanding provision of payroll and employee administration services to offering customers full human capital management outsourced solutions, using its preconfigured euHReka HR services platform. This builds on over a decade of providing Human Resources integration, consultancy, and outsourcing expertise in support of SAP solutions.

SAPís human capital management platform approach leverages the SAP ERP Human Capital Management (SAP ERP HCM) solution to its full extent and delivers significant cost savings, not just through introducing automation and increased efficiency to enabling HR transactions such as payroll, but right around the entire employee lifecycle, within and beyond HR. By combining enabling processes like administration and payroll, with talent management processes, like recruitment, performance management and learning on one platform like euHReka, HR departments can now be more responsive to business needs and prepare for the future. They can also more tightly align with other business processes, typically run on ERP platforms.

Monica Barron, Vice President of Research at the Everest Research Institute, commented: ìTalent management is proving to be a significant component of human resources outsourcing, with increasing numbers of buyers looking to include processes such as recruiting, learning, and performance management in HRO transactions. Buyers are looking for a combination of process expertise, technology and tools to support talent management, and the blended offering and delivery capabilities of both NorthgateArinso and SAP should help to meet a growing demand in the marketplace.î
