Ultimate Software Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award
Provider of Strategic HR, Payroll and Talent Management Solutions Enables Organizations of All Sizes to Achieve Major Cost-Savings |
Wellesley, Mass. - December 2, 2009 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Ultimate Software has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions. The BoSS Awards program was announced in January 2009 as the latest initiative by THINKstrategies to bring attention to SaaS and cloud computing companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability. Ultimate Software is a provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions. The company's SaaS-based UltiPro solution helps businesses streamline their human capital management (HCM) operations without relying on internal IT resources, or worrying about hardware procurement, installation, upgrades, and maintenance, while enabling them to better control the most critical HR and payroll functions. Examples of the measurable benefits generated by Ultimate Software's UltiPro SaaS solution are:
- National Gypsum saved $850,000 over a five-year period.
- Genmar saved $500,000 annually.
- Promise Healthcare saved $400,000 over a five-year period.
- General Investment & Development Companies reduced monthly fees that exceed $200,000 annually.
It is for these reasons that Ultimate Software has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A full description of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1229. "We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our SaaS solution," said Scott Scherr, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of Ultimate Software. "With data for more than 1 million employees across North America in our SaaS environment today, we've worked hard to deliver a SaaS solution for companies that want the rich features of end-to-end human capital management software, delivered in the most convenient way possible. We're pleased to see THINKstrategies recognizing the tremendous benefits that the SaaS model brings to the business world." "Since labor is the greatest ongoing cost of operations for many organizations, it is essential to tightly control these costs," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "Ultimate Software's UltiPro has achieved a track record of success helping organizations of all sizes generate meaningful reductions in their HR costs while improving the quality of their operations."
