Ceridian Increases Investment in Dayforce and Announces Expanded Dayforce Solution
Integrated Solution for Payroll, HR, Self-Service, Benefits and Workforce Management
Minneapolis, MN & Toronto, ON: October 3, 2011 — Ceridian and Dayforce today announced a major expansion of the Dayforce solution that will bring payroll, HR, self-service, benefits and workforce management onto a single platform, backed by Dayforce's award-winning technology.
Overwhelmingly Successful Track Record
The integrated Dayforce solution will build upon the overwhelming success of the workforce management solution that the companies brought to market this year. That product was roundly applauded by analysts and clients alike.
"Dayforce Workforce Management has been a tremendous success by any measure," said Stuart C. Harvey Jr., Ceridian CEO and president. "We set a target of 300 accounts for the first year, and we exceeded that target in the first six months and over 75 of these accounts are now live. We will now take this momentum into the broader human capital management marketplace to achieve even greater growth and success.”
Industry experts agree. According to Nucleus Research, the Dayforce solution "is winning deals by offering a wide range of workforce management capabilities at a better value than its rivals and providing capabilities that other vendors don’t have."
Clients have been equally enthusiastic. Pat Frees, Plant Human Resources Manager, Hoffmaster Group, Inc., described the benefits of Dayforce by saying "it's like comparing the Jetsons to the Flintstones." Dave Vierthaler, Vice President, Human Resources, Hoffmaster Group, Inc., added that Dayforce was “not only easy to install and use, but also provided us with the ability to better manage our workforce and gave us significant ROI.”
Expanding on a Winning Approach
"We spoke to our customers," said David Ossip, CEO of Dayforce, "and they told us that they loved the new Dayforce approach. They wanted to see the same user experience, speed and return on investment across all of their human capital management needs. So we listened."
Dayforce HR and Self-Service will begin to be released in the fourth quarter of 2011, with the new Dayforce Payroll functionality to follow in the first quarter of 2012.
Strong, Seamless Partnership
Ceridian and Dayforce have been strong, natural partners from the outset.
The expanded Dayforce solution will be supported by a unified team combining the strengths of both companies. David Ossip will lead a new organization, which will be responsible for development, implementation, support and hosting. "David and the Dayforce team have continued to exceed expectations," said Stuart C. Harvey Jr., Ceridian CEO and president. "Based on the success of our partnership and the complementary strengths of our organizations, an expanded partnership and increased investment was a natural next step."
"Ceridian has been a perfect partner from the outset," said David Ossip. "We are thrilled to begin this new phase of our extraordinarily successful alliance."
