Innovim Consolidates HCM Functions with Ultimate Software's Unified HCM Solution [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Ultimate Software reported that Innovim is benefiting from unified human capital management (HCM), collaborative performance management, and responsive customer service since leveraging the UltiPro solution. According to a media release, previously, Innovim had been using a payroll service bureau, but experienced a range of limitations during rapid expansion - having quadrupled its number of employees in recent years. "Having all of our HCM in one solution is a huge win for our business. We have consolidated our people-related information; our employees and managers are quickly finding relevant information on payroll, benefits, or time; and our HR/payroll team is enjoying more control and flexibility, especially when having to manage the volume that comes with growth," said Michael Kramer, vice president of talent management at Innovim. "The greatest strategic benefit with UltiPro for us is speed. We're a government contractor, and we now can respond to our customers' needs as quickly as they want us to. For example, we could be awarded a contract on a Friday afternoon, and we are expected to have employees hired, onboarded, and ready on Monday. Amazingly, UltiPro enables us to make this happen. Our customers are frequently thrilled at how fast we can fulfill their requirements and, as a result, we have a competitive advantage over other businesses like ours." "We have moved from a process of annual reviews to an interactive, ongoing experience between managers and employees," said Kramer. "Employees are actively engaged in their own development because they can set up their own goals, provide frequent updates on their progress, highlight their accomplishments, and get guidance and comments from both managers and peers. One of the biggest benefits with UltiPro is that it raises the accountability of our managers. It is a way to support relationships among teams and show that managers care about their people." "The partnership with Ultimate Software has been a very positive experience. We have so much volume and activity that supports our business, our employees, and our customers - and frequently it all needs to be completed at the same time. This is where Ultimate's support services have been an immense help to our business," said Kramer. "Our business is constantly evolving, and having a personal, consistent relationship with our customer support rep and other members of Ultimate' s customer success teams means we have expert guidance from people we trust. With their help, we are developing effective strategies, maximizing the use of our HCM technology, and performing at much higher levels."
