ACS Launches SyncHRO

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (NYSE: ACS) today launched SyncHROSM, a self-service solution that bundles together all human resources services into an integrated and easy-to-navigate portal for HR professionals and company employees alike. The comprehensive human resources outsourcing (HRO) solution uses web-based technology and is built on a standardized platform, enabling reduced time for implementation and increased cost savings compared to customized solutions.

ACS relied on its years of experience in transformational HR outsourcing and its proven best practices to build SyncHRO for companies with 4,000 or more full-time employees. Companies benefit from reduced costs, improved HR processes and quality of services. The solution’s enhanced tools, such as HR analytics, wealth management and career services, a health plan evaluator and a healthcare provider finder, will help employees and HR professionals make more informed decisions.

“We’ve designed SyncHRO to respond to the evolving needs of the market and to address the growing demand for standardized human resource services,” said Ann Vezina, executive vice president and group president of ACS Commercial Solutions. “SyncHRO is an extension of the comprehensive and cost-effective services we offer companies considering outsourcing their HR functions. We can help companies not only manage through the economic downturn, but also help them prepare for the rebound.”

Built on Oracle’s PeopleSoft platform and leveraging the ‘BPO Powered by Oracle’ program, SyncHRO integrates self-service functions for employees, new hires, managers, and HR professionals into one easy-to-navigate and secure HR portal. The solution can be implemented in as little as six months, enabling companies to achieve quicker benefits.

“BPO services powered by Oracle provide increased deployment flexibility through state-of-the-art software,” said Tibor Beles, vice president, Oracle Business Process Outsourcing. “The combination of Oracle’s PeopleSoft software and industry-leading services from ACS can provide a world-class HRO solution that helps ACS clients achieve better HR process performance and insight and reduced costs.”

ACS’ SyncHRO is flexible and scalable to client demands, allowing for services to be added as a company’s HR needs grow. Portal services include payroll, employee data management, benefits, learning, compensation and recruiting.

“SyncHRO represents the fusion of innovation and functionality in the HRO market,” said Mark Squiers, executive managing director of the ACS HRO business. “We understand the HR industry and the ever changing challenges facing HR professionals. Through our investment in self-service tools and technology using standardized components and our experience in HR best processes, we can offer companies a powerful solution that is cost-effective and enables improvements to their HR infrastructure, delivery model and analytics.”
