Kephanie Landess, Patersons' Vice President, Global Sales, stated, "Effective HR and payroll processes rely on centralized strategy and service delivery, especially in scenarios where multiple countries are involved. By partnering with Jeitosa, our clients will have access to some of the best global HR thought-leaders while gaining the benefits of our single contract, single technology platform approach to multi-national payroll."

"More companies are seeking to expand globally. Having a leading global payroll provider, such as Patersons, allows our clients to more easily expand their businesses globally and build a common payroll platform for the future," said Karen Beaman, CEO of Jeitosa. "Our alliance will enable us to leverage our respective strengths and deliver tailored global solutions that address the specific needs of each client."

As part of the alliance, the companies will produce value-added informational offerings. The first joint project, a webinar titled Leading Practices in Going Global, will be broadcast Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. (ET).
