Ping Identity Increases Efficiencies, Improves Overall Business Results with Ultimate Software’s UltiPro

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Ultimate Software (NAS: ULTI) , a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that Ping Identity^®, The Identity Security Company™, has selected UltiPro to unify its HR operations, improve reporting capabilities, increase efficiencies, and enhance ease of use for its employees.

Before UltiPro, Ping Identity was handling many of its HR processes manually and using a payroll system that could not accommodate the company’s rapid growth, need for business intelligence, and workforce analytics. The security company also used a separate benefits system that didn’t interface with other systems, so the HR team had to maintain and reconcile data in multiple places. Ping Identity selected Ultimate’s cloud-based UltiPro in December 2012 to automate its end-to-end processes for HCM, and executives are enthusiastic about the business results already achieved.

“We were using accounting software that wasn’t designed for payroll.

UltiPro is a holistic solution that handles a full range of U.S. and international HCM requirements. We’re thrilled with UltiPro’s robust functionality and its ease of use.”

Ping Identity started its initial rollout of UltiPro in April 2013 and plans to expand its use of UltiPro to benefit its entire multinational workforce.

“We’re excited about Ultimate’s recent announcement about its partnership with global payroll provider Celergo. Because we have employees in five countries, the Ultimate-Celergo partnership will allow us to bring all of our global information together in UltiPro,” said Grandchamp. “UltiPro is our single global system of record, and we expect significant improvements in our reporting and employee experience.”

In April 2012, Ultimate and Ping Identity also announced a partnership that enables Ultimate’s customers to select PingOne™, its Identity-as-a-Service, to provide their end users with a secure, cloud-based, single sign-on (SSO) connection to UltiPro and other business applications. Ping Identity’s solution is now available directly from Ultimate as an option in customers’ SaaS subscription.

“Activities like manual reconciliation and duplication among disparate systems undermine productivity and engagement, which can be especially detrimental when a company is experiencing sizable expansion,” said Greg Swick, chief sales officer at Ultimate Software. “Because UltiPro provides a unified, end-to-end HCM solution with
