WICHITA, KS, December 2, 2005 - Savista LLC, a leading business process outsourcing (BPO) provider of integrated finance and accounting and HR services, today announced the launch of an innovative payroll tax management solution that provides large and mid-market companies with world-class payroll tax filing and processing services. The new stand alone service is designed to integrate with virtually any in-house payroll system in the marketplace.
"Our expanded payroll tax offering addresses the industry´s increasing need for a stand alone solution that can be easily integrated with other HRO solutions as well as the needs of companies that are interested in outsourcing the risks and labor costs associated with processing and filing their payroll tax liabilities," said Gary Stanaford, Vice President of Sales, Savista. "This new offering is designed to provide our clients with a comprehensive payroll tax service that not only meets all of the requirements of processing their payroll taxes, but also provides our clients with a superior service model that gives them a competitive edge in the marketplace."
Savista is uniquely qualified in payroll, tax and other HR services for mid-size and large companies. CEO Jeff Bizzack, board member Tom Sinton and the core of Savista´s management team are credited with one of the industry´s greatest success stories - the founding of ProBusiness Services, which, under the leadership of Bizzack and Sinton, became one of the largest providers of payroll and tax services in the U.S. While at ProBusiness, Bizzack and his team were able to fulfill their vision of successfully introducing BPO-driven payroll services to the large employer market. This same team has since developed a more powerful version at Savista, while leveraging the firm´s additional mid-market expertise to expand the offering to include both markets.
"Today´s employers want more than just a cost-effective way for managing tax processing and compliance issues," said Bizzack. "They want a dynamic partner who can help them grow top-line revenues and bottom-line profits. They want an experienced partner with deep industry and domain expertise who can deliver service, technology and operational excellence on a daily basis and who can be counted on to address any new business needs that may arise. To become such a partner takes substantial investments in each of these areas. At Savista, we have taken this approach even further, building a completely customer-centric organization guided by an unwavering commitment to excellence in all areas of work and placing each client at the epicenter of everything we do."
Savista´s payroll tax offering is built around a unique delivery model, based on the rigorous discipline, customer-centric focus and standards of excellence that are hallmarks of the world´s best BPO providers. Encompassing every aspect of the payroll tax process, the offering leverages a powerful combination of proprietary assets, including Savista´s state-of-the-art technology platform developed in partnership with some of the industry´s most respected technology leaders and innovators, best-in-class business processes developed by Savista´s mid-market and large market payroll and tax specialists, and client service experts who have been responsible for the creation and execution of some of the most successful client satisfaction and retention programs in the outsourcing industry.
