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. This kind of system worked when we were smaller, but we have been doubling our workforce every year for the last three years,” said Melissa Grandchamp, director of HR at Ping Identity. “We no longer have to ‘duct tape’ five systems together. 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

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Ultimate Software (NAS: ULTI) , a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that the company has been named as a top leader in ethical businesses policies in “Good Business: 10 Companies with Ethical Corporate Policies,” an article posted on Minyanville.com, an Emmy Award-winning destination site for the professional and active trading and investing audience with more than 1.3 million unique visitors and 8 to 10 million visitors per month.

“There are plenty of companies that hold themselves to a higher standard and show respect for the world around them,” said Anthony Shields, writer for Minyanville.com. “From having the best employee benefits to the championing of education and the environment, this list honors the companies with stellar moral practices.”

Ultimate was singled out for its treatment of its employees such as 100% free healthcare and complete coverage for all dependents as well as a great deal of diversity in its hiring practices. In addition to Ultimate, other businesses on the list included Ultimate customers Google and NuStar Energy as well as Microsoft, Starbucks, Goldman Sachs, Intel, and Salesforce.com. Ultimate also received recognition earlier this year when it was ranked #9 on FORTUNE‘s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For.”

According to Scott Scherr, CEO, president, and founder of Ultimate Software, the company was built and continues to stand on a philosophical foundation of putting people first and doing the right thing. “We encourage our employees to respect and earn the trust of others,” said Scherr.

“We believe that because we treat our employees well, they will in turn treat our customers well. Our customers continually confirm that our people-centric philosophy has brought significant value to their organizations and their workforce. We’re proud that our company is fulfilling our commitment to our employees and our thousands of customers, and we’re very happy to have received this recognition from Minyanville.com.”

10,000-Employee Airline Leverages UltiPro's Business Intelligence for Strategic and Operational HR I

10,000-Employee Airline Leverages UltiPro’s Business Intelligence for Strategic and Operational HR Improvements

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Ultimate Software (NAS: ULTI) , a leading cloud provider of people management solutions, announced today that Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (NAS: RJET) , an airline holding company that owns Chautauqua Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Republic Airlines, and Shuttle America, is using UltiPro’s capabilities for business intelligence to generate analytics for strategic decision-making and forecasting, automate critical communications and reports necessary for compliance and audits, and make significant improvements to its overall HCM operations.

An Ultimate customer since 2005, Republic Airways has grown to 10,000 employees. With its large employee population, Republic’s HR teams and executives needed visibility into their workforce from a companywide perspective as well as access to employee metrics for fast and accurate insights on specific elements of the business. According to Jon Clahan, manager of HR shared services at Republic Airways, the company is using UltiPro to analyze turnover and employee demographics, and as a result, has made improvements to talent acquisition, re-evaluated its processes for performance management, and implemented succession plans to avoid talent shortages.

“The airline industry is highly regulated, and one of these regulations requires that pilots stop flying after age 65. With UltiPro, we have been able to identify employees who will be retiring and when they will retire. This allows Republic to ramp up hiring when appropriate so we can better fill vacancies that could have a negative impact on the business,” said Clahan. “Our executives have dashboards in UltiPro to more easily and accurately monitor these kinds of trends, and then we can make the best adjustments and decisions for our multiple businesses.”

Republic is using UltiPro to automatically deliver dozens of reports used every day by stakeholders across the organization. Clahan also has created a series of reports to handle most daily requests for information. For example, Republic’s HR team and leaders may need historical workforce information because airline regulations often require manpower data that may be date-specific and relevant to all employees or that is only relevant to a specific group of employees. With UltiPro, Clahan is better positioned to immediately address a full range of reporting needs.

“Information really can be put into almost any system, but what sets UltiPro apart from other HCM platforms is the solution’s ability to enable people to easily extract information and then deliver it to our teams or decision makers …read more

WESTON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Ultimate Software (NAS: ULTI)

WHAT: Ultimate Software will host a complimentary, hour-long webcast presentation that focuses on helping HR, benefits, and payroll professionals prepare for the latest changes related to healthcare reform.

In 2013, healthcare reform has become a top business issue that organizations need to prepare for.

Additionally, the amount of money employees can shelter in an FSA will be restricted to $2,500. These 2013 changes are already in effect, and there are many more coming in 2014 such as the individual mandate and the employer’s shared responsibility that require employers to be prepared and take action.

This webcast, approved for one credit hour from the HR Certification Institute, will help participants understand and navigate through the large amount of information on healthcare reform in 2013, and then conclude with a live Q&A period.
