UltiPro 10 includes
all of the functionality businesses need to manage a global workforce from recruitment through retirement and is extremely configurable to both a company’s unique business needs and an individual user’s preferences. A key advantage of the UltiPro 10 platform is that it allows executives and HR leaders to more easily optimize processes and adapt to business changes quickly, without straining their internal IT team—while putting end-users in control of their HCM experience.
UltiPro 10’s “HCM My Way” design focuses on tailoring the experience of completing everyday business processes to the individual user rather than using a “one-size-fits-all” approach. This configurable approach results in benefits for everyone across the business:
- For executives and HR leaders, UltiPro 10 includes role-specific dashboards that provide business leaders a quick view of the key HCM metrics that are most relevant based on their roles, such as overtime spending or attrition.
- For HR/payroll professionals, UltiPro 10 makes routine HCM processes and tasks faster, easier, and more intuitive. For example, new gateway pages for payroll processing, recruitment, and talent management serve as the “command center” to monitor the progress of key HR activities.
- For line managers, UltiPro 10 provides centralized access to staff reports and analytics; quick shortcuts to the most frequently completed staff-related transactions; and role-based alerts on key employee metrics and events, including staff schedule changes or overdue performance reviews.
- For all end-users, UltiPro 10 offers options to select personal preferences that are “sticky”—recalling user settings each time the user logs in—including preferred language and page design.
- For system administrators, UltiPro 10’s service-oriented technology architecture provides a highly configurable, scalable, and extensible environment with the ability to more easily incorporate other related Web services into the UltiPro portal and seamlessly transfer relevant HR and payroll data to third-party providers.
Customers have reported significant benefits with the UltiPro 10 platform, including enhanced strategic analytics, company-wide time savings, improved communications across a global workforce, and increased employee engagement.
CORT Business Services, a Berkshire Hathaway Company and leading provider of business and residential rental furniture as well as apartment location and relocation services, is using the UltiPro 10 portal to deliver advanced, configurable reports and analytics to executives and managers.
“One goal of many human resource and payroll professionals is to find more ways to make a strategic impact on the business. In this regard, the newest reporting features in UltiPro really blow these capabilities out of the water,” said Deana McMillan, HRIS manager for CORT. “The value is beyond measure. Our user population can easily and
quickly pull information-rich reports they need, and without worrying about security issues. Our executive leadership can log into the UltiPro 10 portal and click on a dashboard to see total new hires, terminations, or other more in-depth employee data at the drop of a hat. They love it.”
Panhandle State Bank and its locally operated divisions of Intermountain Community Bank and Magic Valley Bank—which provide commercial banking services primarily to individuals, professionals, and small to medium-sized businesses in the U.S.—have experienced time savings and positive feedback from employees with UltiPro 10.
“UltiPro 10 makes it even easier to do more of our day-to-day operations in one application, saving time,” said Mya Sanger, HR systems administrator for Panhandle. “The enhancements to the home page content management and streamlined security have been a big hit. With UltiPro 10, we have a convenient and organized way to communicate company-wide.”
Blyth, Inc., a leading designer and marketer of home decorative and fragranced products, is benefiting from several of the “HCM My Way” convenience features as well as the language preference options. “Employees love the enhanced version of UltiPro, including the ‘Things I Can Do’ box, which takes any guesswork out of using the portal,” said Michelle Tassinari, manager of corporate HRMS/payroll for Blyth. “Another feature we’ve already started using is the foreign language option. We have a large population of Spanish-speaking employees, so this feature opens the lines of communication for us.”
SWBC, a multi-faceted financial services and insurance company with offices across the U.S., agreed that UltiPro 10’s “HCM My Way” design is allowing the HR/payroll team to provide better service to employees.
“We really appreciate being able to
easily adapt the content of the portal to our business,” said Shannon Hanna, senior payroll specialist for SWBC. “UltiPro has helped us make our site more appealing, and we can give employees more information upfront and enable them to find things more easily.”
By understanding the unique goals and challenges of its customers, Ultimate is able to extend its solutions to enable more efficient business execution and rapid value. “We have been so impressed with Ultimate’s desire to keep its solution relevant and agile by including new features. Many customer feature requests have been included in the UltiPro 10 portal, telling us that Ultimate is listening to and delivering what we, the end-users, are asking for,” said Panhandle State Bank’s Mya Sanger.
“We’re extremely pleased that the reception of our UltiPro 10 platform has been so positive,” said Adam Rogers, chief technology officer and senior vice president of product development at Ultimate. “We believe this is a testament to the fact that we’ve maintained our
exclusive focus on human capital management, so we can spend significant time listening to the HR, payroll, and talent management needs of our more than 1,900 customers and the market at large. Our UltiPro 10 platform allows us to further enhance our solution to address those evolving needs more quickly than ever before.”
