FORT WORTH, Texas, April 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- NOW Solutions, Inc. announced today the addition of another new customer. The Canadian division of a major international distribution company has selected Now Solutions' emPath(r) HRMS suite.
By bringing emPath(r) "in-house", this division, with several thousand employees, replaces its current outsourced solution with Now Solutions' more robust integrated HR and Payroll suite at a lower overall cost. emPath(r) HRMS can streamline the Canadian division's core human resources and payroll information into a comprehensive and integrated environment.
emPath(r) is a Web-based HRMS solution leveraging Microsoft(r) .NET technology that provides comprehensive administrative and workflow capabilities, as well as employee empowerment via employee and manager self-service, all delivered with zero client administration.
"NOW Solutions is helping various organizations discover the benefits of greater operational efficiency and more responsive service to their employees," says our Vice President of Client Development, Carmelina Uggenti. "In a world of business process outsourcing as well as outsourcing in general, many companies are realizing they have increased control over their information and substantially lower overall costs by using a more traditional method of licensing applications instead of paying by transaction."
