Managed Systems Administration
If someone in your team walked, would your systems follow suit? Ensuring your processes are documented and up-to-date means you stay operational – don’t wait for a worst-case scenario.
Managed Systems Administration
Payroll is so much more than processing wages and keeping up with compliance. It’s part of a wider ecosystem that may include broader systems and processes like time and attendance, HCM – Human Capital Management, scheduling, and workforce management tasks. Additionally, your system may interact with many other systems, including time clocks, finance, ERP, Employee and Manager Self-Service and more. The reality is many enterprise-level organisations operate in highly customised, complex environments, and they may not have the time and resources, technical capacity, or skillset to properly support all of these varied systems.
Through Managed Systems Administration (MSA), we bring strategic expertise to reveal the inner workings of an organisation’s Human Capital ecosystem. Then we implement changes and provide support to improve efficiency, strengthen productivity and performance, and ensure compliance and functionality across the board.
Managed Systems Administration is a tailored approach to delivering support and guidance across an organization’s HCM ecosystem. We’ll work with you and your team to discover and map out all necessary requirements so that you have the support when and where you need it.
Through discovery sessions, handling and maintenance of ad-hoc processes and implementation of permanent improvement plans, Managed Systems Administration ensures all the moving parts within the HCM ecosystem operate compliantly and efficiently.
This may include assisting with
Pay Increases and backpays – We handle setting up of newly ratified contracts and rates, backdated, and the accompanying backpay calculations and preparation of payments.
Restructures – Reorganising your reporting lines and associated permissions and approval structures with your HCM environment.
Assisting with internal and external audit by providing the necessary data and responses to questions and queries.
Upgrading systems and staying on top of the latest releases.
Working directly with vendors to ensure systems are up to date and implemented efficiently.
Recommending new functionality that will put the company in a better place.
