WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today that Dunbar Armored, Inc. is implementing UltiPro for human resources and payroll along with UltiPro Time and Attendance, UltiPro Recruitment, UltiPro Performance Management, and UltiPro Learning Management delivered through Ultimate’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model, Intersourcing.
Dunbar Armored, one of the nation’s largest independent armored transportation companies with more than 5,000 employees, chose to replace its custom-built, in-house HR and payroll solution with UltiPro’s more advanced technology and holistic recruitment-through-retirement functionality in March 2008. The Hunt Valley, MD-based firm also chose UltiPro because the company’s executive team wanted one vendor for comprehensive HR and payroll management delivered through SaaS, with Web-accessible feature-sets to create efficiencies and control costs in a geographically dispersed work environment.
“Ultimate Software’s UltiPro delivers the wide-range of functionality we need, plus it’s extremely scalable and flexible,” said Dominick M. Valencia, Jr., general counsel and vice president, human resources for Dunbar Armored, Inc. “We’re excited about having a unified solution that can help our entire human resources team function more strategically and effectively and also benefit the Dunbar organization as a whole.”
Because Dunbar Armored had been devoting IT staff to managing and maintaining the company’s “homegrown” solution, company leaders were eager to switch to a SaaS solution like UltiPro through Intersourcing so that Dunbar’s IT team could concentrate on other core business applications.
“Although many factors led to our selection of Ultimate Software, one important driver of our decision was Intersourcing,” said Valencia. “This SaaS option will allow us to dedicate all of our IT resources to supporting primary business functions rather than maintaining servers and other computer hardware for on-premise HR and payroll software.”
“UltiPro includes a broad range of human capital management functionality so that customers have one integrated system for their HR, payroll, benefits, and talent management needs,” said Greg Swick, chief sales officer for Ultimate Software. “We are pleased Dunbar Armored chose to rely on Ultimate Software as their single source for all-inclusive HR management.”
The Dunbar Companies, America’s largest independent, 100% American-owned, full-service security organization is comprised of six operating companies including: Dunbar Armored – America’s largest independent armored transportation carrier serving major retailers, financial institutions and government entities nationwide; Dunbar Cash Vault Services – state-of-the-art money rooms providing a complete line of cash management services to major banks and retailers; Dunbar Global Logistics – providing secure transportation solutions for the movement of vulnerable cargo worldwide; Dunbar BankPak – designer and distributor of the world’s finest security containers; Dunbar Guard Services – supplier of professionally trained, uniformed guards and Dunbar Security Systems – designer and installer of electronic alarm and 24-hour monitoring systems supported by a UL®-approved central station.
