Will our Cloud Time Management Solution Show an ROI?

March 14th, 2013 | Posted by Apex Time Solutions in Cloud Time and Attendance | Employee Time Attendance | Hosted Time and Attendance Solution | Payroll | SaaS Time and Attendance | Software-as-a-Service (saas) Workforce Management Software | Time and Attendance Blog, Workforce Management Software | TimeWork - (0 Comments)

The cloud buzz has not been lost on business executives. The question our account executives hear most of the time is, “How much time is this going to save our payroll department and operational managers?” Implementing an ATS cloud time & attendance system can yield tangible cost reductions in both hardware and IT resources. The ability to review employee data from any device with access to the Internet is one of the most powerful reasons to adopt this solution. There are other compelling reasons to deploy an employee time tracking solution. Some of them include:

The Ability to Make Changes as Required- ATS cloud solution is scalable and flexible to meet today’s rapidly changing business requirements. Adding or removing users can be done on demand and will be reflected in subscription fee. This inherent flexibility is beneficial for businesses that need to quickly change their user base to meet their unique business requirements.

Reduce Dependence on IT Resources- By using our cloud-based time management solution, companies require fewer technical resources to manage the solution. That’s in large part, because ATS manages the software and applies all changes without interruption to customers’ daily operations. This in turn, reduces the strain on a company’s IT resource, allowing it to focus on other relevant tasks within the organization.

Increasing a Company’s Return on Investment- ATS’s SaaS application can be implemented with ease into a company’s day-to-day business. A typical deployment takes a matter of weeks, versus a 60-90 day implementation of an “on-premises” solution. This enables organizations to begin realizing the business benefits earlier, resulting in a rapid return on investment (ROI), and a reduced total cost of ownership (TCO) over the course of the investment.

Of course the success of any implementation requires a company’s management team’s commitment to the project. The allocation of the proper resources from the company, combined with the deep expertise of ATS implementation team, will result in a successful implementation.
