In a market that is predominately comprised
of time and attendance vendors who utilize
third parties to implement their solutions,
TimeCentre has built a strong heritage
in our in-house deployment team. This
deployment team of business analysts,
project managers, and technicians have
partnered closely with customers and become
part of their team. Our team focuses on
the rapid and smooth deployment of TimeCentre’s
time and attendance solutions to maximize
on the Return on Investment. Through the
collective experience of the deployment
team, TimeCentre has developed a unique
deployment methodology, EASE™.
A few common findings throughout the
TimeCentre deployment are that once a
client fully realizes the business value
and cost savings, they want to deploy
the automation of time and attendance
collection, and the integration with other
existing HR and payroll functions as quickly
as possible. Our clients have typical
expectations of deployments measured in
weeks, not months and they desire the
integration to legacy systems to be as
seamless as possible. While some vendors
have developed tightly integrated offerings
only through the replacement of legacy
systems and forcing clients to utilize
a full suite of products from a single
vendor, TimeCentre has developed an open
architecture that works with best of breed
applications as well as home grown systems.
The EASE methodology is founded on the
principle that time and attendance should
be a utility, and once it is designed
should take very little effort or thought,
allowing clients to focus on running their
business, not processing time and attendance.
The EASE methodology
has four basic steps:
- Evaluate
the current time collection methods
and the ROI of automation'
- Assess
the integration points and build
interfaces,
- Structure a
deployment plan that includes
pilot payroll cycle, and
- Empower the
client through proper knowledge
transfer.

Following this deployment
methodology both ensures that the TimeCentre
solution has the maximum return on investment
through the most complete automation of
current processes, as well as the most
rapid schedule in the industry. Typical
TimeCentre deployments can be ready for
pilot in a matter of weeks once the business
requirements are fully understood.
The EASE methodology is
comprised of best practices and templates
that have been refined over thousands
of implementations. The templates ensure
that the delivery team tracks issues that
the client probably has never even thought
of, allowing a seamless integration. |
