Wipro, Hackett Deliver HR SaaS Solution on Oracle Platform

Offshore HRO provider Wipro Technologies has partnered with Oracle to develop a best-of-breed HR platform solutions. Wipro has also selected The Hackett Group, a global strategic advisory firm, to provide empirical data, best practices, and world-class performance insights on the development of its innovative bundled solution platform.
 
The solution, called simPlifyTM, allows employers to reduce and control cost as it provides an opportunity to centralize and standardize processes while eliminating duplicative management structures. The solution has the ability to leverage a one-to-many technology capability while maximizing service quality and HR customer satisfaction.
 
This would be the second major HRO technology platform announced this month, following ACS’s SyncHRO SaaS offering, which is also built on Oracle’s PeopleSoft platform.
 
Employers can focus on their strategic business opportunities and revenue generation through the outsourcing of multi-function HR and Payroll functions. simPlify integrates world-class performance insights and benchmarking metrics from Hackett with Oracle PeopleSoft HCM and Wipro’s globally optimized HR delivery capability. The solution is delivered on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, allowing employers to pay for what they use as well as reducing the complexity, time, and investment in technology implementation and maintenance. It provides clients with a scalable IT infrastructure that is offered as a multi-tenant model to achieve economies of scale and size.
 
“We are very pleased with the results of our collaboration with Oracle, a most capable and reliable partner contributing truly leading business solutions. As a market leader, we are well-positioned to become the provider of choice for multinational organizations,” said Ashutosh Vaidya, head of Wipro BPO. “Building on that position of strength, we have engaged with Hackett to ensure the solution set enables the implementation of best practices. This is the only solution of its kind that can address the needs of multinational companies across the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, and North America.”
 
“Our research has consistently identified lack of innovation as one of the most significant challenges of business process outsourcing. The combination of tightly integrated Oracle applications, Wipro’s proven global service delivery capability, and the Hackett transformation guidance to establish a roadmap to best practice is a highly innovative approach to drive world-class HR process excellence,” said Hackett Chairman and CEO Ted Fernandez.
