Accero Software (formerly Cyborg Systems), a leading provider of Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions (http://www.accero.com) to mid-size and large enterprises, today announced the availability of Accero On-Demand's8482;, a hosted, subscription-based service that provides clients with affordable, secure, anytime anywhere Web access to a full range of integrated payroll and human resources tools.
Through Accero's8217;s new software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model (http://www.accero.com), customers in the US, Canada and the UK can subscribe to
the recently released version 6.0 of the Accero Cyborg's8482; application suite. The 6.0 release, widely considered to be the most feature-rich release of the Cyborg solution in over a
decade, includes two key enhancements that support a SaaS delivery model; a new browser based user interface called Fast Forward
and enhanced user and role based security.
's8220;Many on-demand vendor products are condensed, scaled-down versions that limit customers to a narrow set of configuration parameters,'s8221; said Tom Malone, Accero CEO.
's8220;Accero On-Demand delivers broad configurability and robust HCM functionality that meets our customer's8217;s most complex requirements while helping in-house IT resources avoid
time-consuming chores such as managing upgrades, monitoring third-party maintenance agreements, supporting end users and managing hardware.'s8221;
Accero On-Demand is ideal for mid-size and large enterprises or major business units of large companies, where strategic initiatives are thwarted due to insufficient IT resources.
Accero's8217;s SAS-70 Type II certified hosting centers offer Accero On-Demand clients scalability, high-availability and high-performance computing that surpasses the performance and
reliability of most in-house computing resources. As a hosted, on-demand solution, all hardware, software, security and network considerations are managed by Accero's8217;s team of IT
experts.
Accero On-Demand subscribers access the system via a secure, Web-based interface and manage day-to-day duties as if the Accero Cyborg solution (http://www.accero.com) were deployed locally. HR teams can easily manage the full hire-to-retire lifecycle of their global workforce. User authentication and
role-based security controls each user's8217;s access to specific features, functions and data sets.
Additionally, Accero announces the availability of Accero On-Demand PLUS's8482;, a spectrum of services designed to enhance the core Accero SaaS solution and help clients optimize their
HCM investments. Services range from tax preparation and filing to year-end
processing to position administration and open enrollment management. Customers can choose Accero On-Demand PLUS services on an ad-hoc basis or as part of their standard subscription
service agreement.
Accero On-Demand taps into a growing market trend for robust business applications that are licensed via a subscription service (http://www.accero.com)
and deployed and managed by the vendor. Gartner, Inc., the world's8217;s leading information technology research and advisory company, noted in a recent industry report that SaaS
continues to gain in popularity. According to Gartner, worldwide SaaS revenue is expected to grow by 22 percent in 2009 (Gartner
Market Trends: Software as a Service, Worldwide, 2009-2013).
Accero On-Demand's8217;s availability, on the heels of the 6.0/Fast Forward (http://www.accero.com) release, demonstrates the speed with which Accero
is emerging as an affordable, functionally-rich alternative to traditional ERP vendors like SAP, Oracle and Lawson. The Accero Cyborg solution includes five industry-leading,
best-of-breed HCM applications's8212;notable for their configurability, robust functionality, rapid deployment and ease of use: Human Resources Administration; Benefits Administration;
Payroll Administration; Employee, Manager and Benefits Self-Service; and Reporting Administration 's38; Analytics.
