ROSELAND, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2003-- ADP® Employer Services (ES) division, a leading provider of integrated payroll and human resources services, today announced the national expansion of TotalChoice(SM) Solutions - ADP's integrated, Web-native human resource and payroll application.
TotalChoice offers the control that in-house processors demand, as well as the value-added benefits of ADP hosting, tax management and other employer-related compliance services.
"The national expansion of TotalChoice Solutions follows its limited distribution in key markets, which has clearly proven there is broad appeal," says Robert Thomas, Vice President and General Manager of TotalChoice Solutions. "Hosted by ADP, this solution dynamically responds to the need for integration, remote access and self service, and helps clients reduce the burden of performing system upgrades and ongoing maintenance in-house."
With TotalChoice Solutions, in-house users retain their day-to-day control over operations such as gross to net calculations, on-site check printing, and report generation. ADP provides them with vital tax management and compliance services, plus support from a dedicated service organization. "In-house processors now have access to a level of service that exceeds what a typical mid-market business could derive from their own in-house systems," Mr. Thomas adds.
Developed by ADP specifically for the Internet, TotalChoice incorporates the latest Web technology and industry best practices. It is easy to learn and deploy, and its system architecture is flexible and scalable. Since TotalChoice has a component-based design, its systems readily adapt to business' changing conditions, adjusting to meet a client's needs today - and tomorrow.
"We chose TotalChoice because of its similarity to the in-house system that we had been using, but the cost is much less," says Gail Mulcahy of Intelicoat, an imaging technology company, with 900 employees at five sites who are paid in 17 states. "With TotalChoice, the payroll processing itself is very easy. And the implementation people are terrific."
The emphasis on maximizing client control is also reflected in TotalChoice's multi-tiered security matrix. One of the embedded features is role-based, user-level security, which enables clients to control the information access for their HR professionals, managers and employees. Built-in, user-defined workflow helps to streamline management processes by sending notifications and authorizations electronically between administrators and employees.
"TotalChoice Solutions is a strategic market differentiator for ADP," adds Gene Hall, President, ADP Major Accounts. "It answers the needs of mid-market employers, who prefer in-house control, with a solution that significantly exceeds the benefits of software packages for most in-house users. With the national rollout of TotalChoice, businesses all across the country can manage their HR and payroll functions, and have access to a suite of services that every employer needs, without ever compromising control."
TotalChoice Solutions will be demonstrated at the Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) 55th Annual Conference and Exposition in Orlando, June 22-25. |
