Logica wins BPO payroll contract with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

- implements premium pay-as-you-go service -

Logica, the European IT and business services company, has won a contract with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to provide a pay-as-you-go BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) bureau payroll service for 18,000 employees and pensioners.  Logica will run the service on an Oracle HCM platform using Logica’s secure hosting environment ODIS (on demand infrastructure service). The pay-as-you-go model removes the need to pay a traditional, upfront software licence fee.

This deal marks the first win of this kind for Logica since it announced its partnership with Oracle to offer Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) as part of its own outsourced HR & payroll service.

The service is due to roll-out in December 2008 and interfaces with the firm’s existing HR and Finance systems. The Oracle system will allow the PWC team to run error tracking and advance checks on payroll rather than having to wait until the end of each month. Importantly, it will also enable them to run a management dashboard to evaluate the payroll in line with the overall business, and allow them to run workflows and self-service email generation. 

Logica has an agnostic approach to software and thousands of consultants with in-depth knowledge of not only Oracle but also SAP, Peoplesoft and Vebnet. It meant that Logica could run the Oracle software in tandem with the existing services, and advise on how to futureproof the systems.

Patricia Taylor, Director, HR and Payroll BPO Services, Logica, said: We’re delighted to be working for PricewaterhouseCoopers. We will work closely with them to manage the project and will ensure that the service delivers to expectations and has the flexibility to move with PricewaterhouseCoopers as its business requirements change. Additionally, we’ll be ready to advise when Oracle brings out Fusion – its amalgamation of the best from all its existing systems.

”We’re seeing a real demand for BPO pay-as-you-go services from current and potential customers. This type of offering means that premium services based on a market leading product like Oracle HCM are no longer just available to large enterprises – they are accessible to all. Many organisations will now find that they can positively change the way they deliver HR and payroll services to their employees’. This type of contract win illustrates exactly why we are strengthening our core partnerships with software providers such as Oracle, SAP and Microsoft, Taylor concluded”.

Logica provides payroll outsourcing and HR services to more than 850 organisations across a range of platforms including Oracle, SAP, and the company’s own developed solutions.
