Why Outsource and Automate?

As most business owners and HR managers have experienced, payroll makes up a large portion of any companies’ operating expenses. Payroll processing is very time consuming and open to human error. At the start of the financial year, companies look towards how they can reduce costs while maximising value by streamlining processes to create efficiencies and effective use of time. Due to the nature of the ever-evolving world coupled with the evolution of Payroll administration and technology, automating this function and/or completely outsourcing it is proving to be a reliable and obvious choice.

The change in payroll systems

There is an increase in automated systems being introduced to help run business manage Payroll and HR functions more efficiently and reliably, thanks mostly to technological advances in people management software and the increased safety of cloud computing. This will afford you and your company the time to focus more on core activities yet benefit from remote accessing all the necessary data and information whenever its needed.
The CEO of Accsys, Teryl Schroenn believes that with the new developments in cloud technology, it is also possible for organisations to successfully co-source certain functions. For example, It is possible to outsource your Payroll, whilst managing HR and ESS software (Employee Self Service) internally.’ Schroenn adds.
