With labor information scattered in many places, to produce workforce business intelligence was through manual consolidation of data – taking time and resources away from other strategic projects. In August 2008, a selection committee chose Ultimate Software’s UltiPro to achieve efficiencies and business value with one comprehensive human capital management system, said Ultimate Software.

Gorman-Rupp’s IT team is responsible for maintaining the hardware and software for the company’s current systems. The frequent tax and regulatory updates for the existing payroll software cause a burden for the team. UltiPro will alleviate the IT team’s system maintenance and upgrade worries, because Ultimate Software manages all of those IT responsibilities for its software-as-a-service customers, added Ultimate Software.

Greg Swick, chief sales officer for Ultimate Software, said: Today’s workplace compliance requires rapid availability of accurate, real-time employee metrics for fast reporting. We’re pleased UltiPro can consolidate Gorman-Rupp’s human capital management data and processes to deliver more robust and easy-to-use business intelligence, as well as fulfill all of the company’s HR and payroll needs.

Ron Pittenger, assistant treasurer for Gorman-Rupp, said: With the complexity of government regulations for employers increasing all of the time, we found that we needed a single, all-inclusive human resource and payroll solution. Using UltiPro, we expect to meet ever-changing compliance requirements efficiently, while also enhancing the effectiveness of our employee management processes.
