About The Customer

The Challenge
ADP Netherlands BV, a part of international market leader ADP Inc., provides a wide range of HR, payroll, tax, and benefits administration solutions to approximately 1.2 million employees in over 6,000 companies every month. The company was facing a challenge in providing its customers with relevant and easily accessible information about Human Resources. The static reports generated by ADP using Cognos Imprompto and Clarion Report Writer were not meeting the dynamic reporting and analysis needs of their clients. The HR departments of their client companies were becoming more accountable and needed to provide information directly to the board of directors. This required the HR departments to have their business processes clearly mapped out. Furthermore, line managers needed feedback and overviews of various HR aspects such as employees with a high number of sick days.
The Solution
To meet the demand for dynamic and flexible reporting and analysis, ADP Netherlands composed a Package of Requirements and decided to implement QlikView. QlikView provided a dynamic solution that could cater to the varying reporting and analysis needs of each client. ADP started building QlikView applications on their varying Human Resources solutions in early 2006. They first implemented QlikView on Pion, a solution used by governmental organizations. ADP decided to build a data warehouse on Pion’s data source, which also enabled their customers to add data sources if required. After laying the groundwork, approximately 150 reports were created for Pion using QlikView. Additionally, a dashboard was developed containing important KPIs. After the deployment of the QlikView reporting and analysis module for Pion, ADP immediately moved on to the implementation of QlikView into ADP’s other systems for Human Resources.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009.
