Invensys Signs Global HR Deal With NorthgateArinso

Using euHReka to Manage HR and Payroll Processes for 21,000 Employees in More
Than 50 Countries
ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Invensys, a global technology group supplying solutions, software, consultancy
and equipment to monitor, control and automate processes in a wide range of
environments, has signed a seven-year contract worth approx. $58million US (GBP
£35million) with NorthgateArinso. The global HR services provider will deliver
HR and payroll processes to Invensys` global workforce in more than 50
countries.

Invensys aims to deliver a more efficient service to its employees through
euHReka, NorthgateArinso`s standard HR solution powered by SAP HCM, using the
solution both as a BPO service for administrative HR and payroll processes and
in an OnDemand mode for Talent Management processes.

The self-service element will enable staff to manage general administration and
processes themselves, reducing the HR team`s administrative duties and allowing
them to focus on wider strategic initiatives. Invensys will also take advantage
of euHReka to deliver HR processes, such as learning and compensation
management, via self-service, without the need to install a software platform
locally. In addition to deploying euHReka globally, NorthgateArinso will also
use its proprietary ResourceLink solution to deliver payroll services in select
geographies.

"By outsourcing all HR administration and payroll we`re able to take advantage
of NorthgateArinso`s global expertise and vast experience in this area - it`s a
fantastic bank of knowledge we`d never have been able to replicate in-house in
an efficient, cost effective manner," said Paula S. Larson, EVP HR at Invensys.
"We started to review our options to provide a better HR service to our internal
clients and realized that working with NorthgateArinso would transform the way
we provide the service, at a lower cost."

"Outsourcing the HR, payroll, learning and compensation performance management
functions to a single, consistent point of contact will not only free-up
managers` valuable time, but also ensure Invensys complies with the many
employment regulations that exist worldwide. Ultimately, this partnership means
all HR processes will be supported by a single supplier from the day an employee
starts in the business to the day they leave," said Mike Ettling, CEO at
NorthgateArinso.
