Hitachi Data Systems Goes Live with the Genesys 3-Tier Client/Server HRMS

Internet-Ready Solution Positions HDS for Worldwide Internal/External Customer Self-Service

New York, NY — HRMS EXPO 1997 — September 16, 1997 — GenesysSoftware Systems, Inc., A leading provider of best-of-breed Human Resources (HR), Payroll and Benefits software and outsourcing services, and Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), a leading worldwide provider of information processing solutions, today announced the successful deployment of Genesys' three-tier client/server HRMS to manage HR/payroll processing needs for HDS.

The Genesys HRMS provides HDS with a flexible, cost-effective and integrated solution that will help HDS provide Internet-based information access on a "self-serve" basis to 2,400 employees in 30 countries.

Internet-Ready Solution Facilitates Hds' Self-Service Objectives

The Genesys three-tier, thin client HRMS will support the self-service goals of HDS via native Internet/intranet capabilities 3/4 enabling open process management and deployment of HRMS functionality across networks. Using the Genesys WEBServe product, HDS can provide Internet/Intranet/Extranet self-service to employees, managers, executives, outside vendors, customers and trading partners 3/4 without implementing expensive third party web-enabling software.

"As an international organization, we needed to be able to accommodate our colleagues', leaders' and other customers' information needs across the country, around the world and around the clock. The Internet provides the means, and Genesys provides us with a solution to leverage it 3/4 via a worldwide, integrated database of information and powerful functionality for HR/payroll information access and planning," stated Ken Briggs, Corporate Director of Compensation, Benefits and HRIS, and the driving force behind the HDS move to an Internet-ready solution.

Immediate Benefits In Cost Savings, Increased Productivity

In its first weeks of operation, the Genesys solution has already allowed HDS to realize:

  • Significant Cost Savings in Transaction Processing


  • Enhanced Processing Speed and Performance


  • Automation of Manual Data Collection Tasks


  • Improved Compliance and Reporting Response Time

The deployment will be completed over three phases, and is being managed by Genesys Professional Services. The first phase, implementation, was completed in late June of this year. Subsequent phases, expected to be completed in the second quarter of calendar 1998, will address worldwide HDS HR/payroll and benefits global access needs, including self-service for leaders and colleagues via the HDS intranet, and a worldwide integrated database serving all U.S., Canada, Latin America, European and Asian/Pacific Rim locations.

"The partnership between Hitachi Data Systems and Genesys is a strategic one that makes sense. Both our companies have established reputations as leaders in making innovative use of emerging technologies to stay a step ahead of our customers' information needs. And so it is both logical and strategic that Genesys' Internet-ready HRMS can provide this same competitive advantage for Hitachi," said Larry Munini, president of Genesys.
