Single Source Systems Authorized as Sage Abra HRMS Business Partner Launches Interface of SM-Plus(TM) Service Business Solution with Abra Payroll.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Single Source Systems, Inc. announced it has become an authorized Sage Software business partner, representing Sage Abra HRMS solutions. Single Source has also developed an interface between its SM-Plus(TM) service business solution and Sage Software's Abra Payroll product, part of the Sage Abra HRMS product line. The seamless integration of Abra Payroll with SM-Plus will provide service-focused businesses the ability to enter work order information taken during service calls into SM-Plus, which is then compiled and transparently exported to Abra Payroll for all payroll processing activities.

"Sage Abra HRMS, the industry-leading HR and in-house payroll solution for mid-market businesses, will complement SM-Plus to provide a comprehensive solution for companies managing their own HR and payroll systems," said Tony Petrucciani, CEO at Single Source. "Rather than trying to replicate a payroll system like Abra Payroll, it made perfect sense to create an interface to their proven system, allowing us to continue to focus our research and development efforts on our core SM-Plus solution. The SM-Plus/Abra Payroll combination provides our customers with a high-quality end-to-end solution."

Said Taylor Macdonald, executive vice president, Channel and Sales Operations, for Sage Software, "We are pleased to add Single Source to our growing North American network of certified business partners. Throughout the certification process, they demonstrated a strong commitment to customer service excellence, the ability to identify customers' business needs, and the skill to deliver their services quickly and smoothly. We wish Single Source great success and look forward to a long, prosperous working relationship."

The flexible design of Abra Payroll features an integrated database, a comprehensive array of features, and the powerful reporting and analysis capabilities needed to manage the workforce of mid-sized businesses. Its robust functionality makes it easy to produce paychecks on demand, run trial payrolls, and make last-minute changes efficiently. Abra Payroll also offers a full range of tax management capabilities, including standard tax tables and electronic media reporting for all states.

Abra Payroll features include:

--Simplified Pay Processing

--Comprehensive Reporting

--Tax Management

--Check Printing

--Direct Deposit

--Earnings and Deductions

--Employee self-service capabilities through integration with Abra ESS

SM-Plus streamlines operations for all groups that interact to deliver service. SM-Plus supports best practices in contact centers, field service, depot repair and installation, plus sales, procurement, contract administration, materials, costing and finance.

SM-Plus improves performance of these critical areas:

--Call Center and Incident Tracking Operations

--Resource Service Scheduling and Dispatch

--Mobile Field Service Calls

--Field Service

--Depot Repair

--Service Contracts

--Warranty Tracking

Added Petrucciani, "The SM-Plus and Abra Payroll integration enables rapid processing of an organization's payroll information because data is more accurately and efficiently delivered from the field to office personnel. The Abra Payroll system takes all labor data entered in SM-Plus, automatically processes required tax deductions, and then posts all costs and transactions back to the SM-Plus ledger, providing a streamlined solution to the entire payroll process."
