[February 24, 2011] Equipment Depot Selects UltiPro to Deliver One Central Platform for HCM Intelligence Tweet Feb 24, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Ultimate Software, a provider of unified human capital management (HCM) SaaS solutions for global businesses, announced that Equipment Depot has selected UltiPro to consolidate its payroll, HR, compensation management, and recruitment processes into one unified solution. Equipment Depot is a diversified equipment dealership that sells, services, rents, and provides parts for brands of forklifts, aerial lifts, and construction equipment. The company employs more than 1,450 people in 13 states, making handling the full scope of human capital management a challenging proposition. According to Leora Kirby, vice president of human resources, as Equipment Depot continued to acquire new subsidiaries and grow organically, it needed smarter, more agile answers to manage its business operations, particularly related to HCM. "We had multiple payroll systems across our various business units," Kirby said. "Since we're in the process of combining five companies into one, we wanted one centralized payroll solution that could accommodate our current needs as well as keep pace with our company as we grow in the future. We were looking for a high-caliber HCM platform with a single database, 24-7 Web accessibility for our workforce, and end-to-end-functionality. Plus, we wanted to take advantage of SaaS innovation because it saves us the costs of running, maintaining, and supporting a technology solution on our own." Equipment Depot selected UltiPro in November 2010, and company leadership is eager to combine its multiple data platforms into a single, uniform solution that delivers real-time visibility across the business, according to the Company. "With UltiPro's comprehensive features and unique SaaS architecture, we found a perfect match that meets our company's business requirements," said Kirby. "Bringing an easy-to-manage framework to resolve complex HCM challenges is what UltiPro is all about," said Greg Swick, chief sales officer for Ultimate Software. "We're delighted that Equipment Depot has selected UltiPro for the undeniable advantages of cloud-based HCM, including speed-to-deployment. We look forward to collaborating with Equipment Depot, sharing our decades of expertise on best practices for HCM technology, and helping this growing company achieve its aggressive goals as it expands its overall business strategy." Ultimate has customers representing diverse industries, including such organizations as Adobe Systems Inc., The Container Store, Culligan International, Elizabeth Arden, Major League Baseball, The New York Yankees Baseball Team, and Ruth's Chris Steak House.
