I-bridge, a Randstad Company, Selects Altosoft to Optimize Payroll Operations
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. --(Business Wire)-- Altosoft, a leading provider of operational business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced that I-bridge, a Randstad company, a leading international supplier of services to businesses and institutions, and one of the largest temporary and contract staffing organizations in the world, selected Altosoft Insight to provide real-time visibility and incident management for its payroll operations. I-bridge's innovative application of low-latency business intelligence to monitor and optimize operational performance enables the company to monitor its complex intraday timesheet collection and payroll operations, ensuring payroll efficiency and supporting regulatory compliance for temporary and contract workers.
I-bridge has only a single day each week to collect, enter, approve and process employee time sheets for over 130,000 temporary and contract workers in The Netherlands. This information is processed in multiple operational time management and payroll systems. In order to maintain industry-leading standards for accurate, timely, and cost-effective payroll operations, I-bridge needed to increase the level of visibility into these time-sensitive payroll operations, and implement alerting and incident management capability to ensure timely resolution of payroll-related exceptions and incidents within hours of their occurrence.
"The scale of I-bridge's payroll operations is extremely large, and we required better intraday visibility in order to ensure high levels of employee satisfaction while managing and containing operating expenses," said Mr. Reiant Mulder, ICT Director of I-bridge. "We considered traditional BI and business activity monitoring (BAM) solutions, but ultimately we chose Altosoft because it could deliver both low-latency monitoring of active operational processes seamlessly combined with detailed analysis of historical process performance data. Altosoft was also able to prove that they truly can deliver solutions in a fraction of the time of other products we tested, thereby allowing I-bridge to meet its goals of operational efficiency."
Altosoft's solution, based on the Altosoft Insight operational business intelligence platform, delivers real-time, intraday visibility into I-bridge's operational process performance and provides automatic alerts if the pace of timesheet data entry and review are insufficient to complete the entire payroll process on time. I-bridge management achieves visibility via Altosoft Insight's intuitive, browser-based dashboards, where they can visualize real-time and historical data, receive alerts, manage issues, and drill down to analyze root causes of process inefficiency.
"Traditional BI approaches could not provide the real-time visibility or predictive forecasting required to address I-bridge's challenges, and BAM approaches didn't deliver the historical context that I-bridge required," said Scott Opitz, CEO, Altosoft. "Altosoft Insight combines real-time monitoring with historical context, enabling effective analysis and forecasting of operational performance, plus alerting and incident management for process optimization. Altosoft Insight delivers this value in a fraction of the time and cost of other technologies."
