GENESYS Establishes Payroll and Human Resource Outsourcing Services Division.

METHUEN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 10, 1995 -- GENESYS Software Systems, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise-wide human resource management systems (HRMS) and services, today announced the establishment of the GENESYS Payroll/Human Resource Outsourcing Services Division to meet the growing demand for integrated, on-line payroll, human resource (HR) and tax filing services. The GENESYS Outsourcing Services Division is being rolled out in phases, starting with the Northeast and expanding to regional offices throughout the U.S.

Unlike traditional service bureaus, GENESYS Outsourcing Services is targeted at organizations with complex business requirements and high- volume transaction processing needs. While GENESYS has been offering its payroll/HR outsourcing solution to select customers since last year, the new division will enable the company to significantly increase its presence in the outsourcing market by delivering its solution to customers throughout North America.

"Our enterprise-wide HRMS is a proven solution that meets customers' complex business and functional requirements. We have applied the technical expertise and industry knowledge from our in-house HRMS solution to developing the first integrated payroll/HR outsourcing solution," said Herbert Sullivan, director of the GENESYS Outsourcing Services Division. "Unique in its product offerings, customization capabilities, and high-volume transaction processing power, GENESYS Outsourcing Services provides customers with the functionality and flexibility of an in-house system with the cost benefits of an outsourcing solution."

GENESYS Outsourcing Services offers organizations a cost-effective and convenient solution that can be customized to meet specific technology and business requirements. Customers can choose from the most complex integrated payroll, HR and tax filing requirements to simple paycheck production to the integration of touch screen kiosks, imaging and voice response systems. In addition, organizations wishing to migrate to client/server technology can outsource with GENESYS while they develop the necessary infrastructure, and then simply move their files to the in-house client/server GENESYS Enterprise Series.

"At GEC, our goal is to outsource while taking advantage of state-of-the art technology to increase our efficiency and profitability," said Marie Gaynor, benefits manager at GEC Marconi. "Traditional service bureaus would have processed our payroll on their computers, but would have required us to maintain the HR software on our in-house PCs. We do not consider that type of solution outsourcing. With GENESYS Outsourcing Services, we have the benefits of a truly integrated payroll/HR system, as well as the benefits of new technology such as touch screen kiosks."

Key features and benefits of GENESYS Outsourcing Services include:

- Cost-effective -- providing organizations with the functionality of an in-house system with the cost-savings of outsourcing. - Integrated -- increasing accuracy and productivity while eliminating the need to upload and download information between HR and payroll systems. - On-line access -- allowing users to input information and view and edit the results prior to processing checks or reports. - Robust -- providing customers with comprehensive functionality and high-volume transaction processing capabilities. - Flexible -- allowing organizations to tailor their solution to meet individual requirements and respond quickly to organizational change. - Employee transfer capabilities -- enabling organizations to easily accommodate moving employees interstate or inter-company. - Easy-to-use -- offering a Windows graphical user interface.

"WANG selected GENESYS to deliver an integrated outsourcing services solution because GENESYS understood our business and successfully accommodated our sophisticated requirements," said Ted Balcomb, director of MIS at WANG. "Not only did GENESYS provide WANG with a totally integrated and flexible payroll/HR solution, but the GENESYS Outsourcing Services Division also completed the project ahead of schedule."

"At United Technologies, we have complex payroll and human resource requirements," said Nelson French, supervisor, international payrolls, at United Technologies. "The ability to pay our international employees is just one of the requirements that GENESYS can meet that others cannot."
