Innovene Selects ARINSO as Partner for its Global SAP Implementation...

ARINSO International (EuroNext Brussels: ARIN), a leading provider of HR services, announced today a new contract with Innovene, one of the largest petrochemical companies in the world. Under this contract, ARINSO will partner with Innovene to deliver a global HR SAP platform and Payroll services for more than 8,000 employees across North America, Europe and Asia.



The solution will be based on ARINSO's euHReka platform and will be subject to national labour law provisions, in particular co-determination rules. Within the framework of the recently signed Arinso / SAP HR BPO partnership program, ARINSO has developed a pre-configured and standardized platform supporting all HR processes (including multi country payroll), enabling customers to benefit from high quality and cost-effective HR service delivery with an on-demand pricing approach. EuHReka brings substantial competitive advantages in terms of reliability and quality of HR Service delivery, while lowering operating costs.



The Payroll contract with Innovene covers a period of 8 years. In addition Arinso will assist Innovene with the global implementation of Workforce Administration, Compensation and Benefits, Performance Management, Learning and Recruitment SAP modules. As of January 2006, ARINSO will start servicing the first Innovene countries and by January 2007 all countries will be supported through ARINSO's 'hub-&-spokes' service infrastructure powered by ARINSO's HR Workspace.



The rapid global transition is made possible through ARINSO's proven transformation capabilities, and the leveraged use of technology in the euHReka platform, including country-specific best practices. Since ARINSO's experience in global HR and Payroll solutions is built into the pre-configured euHReka platform, with process-appropriate standardization, globalization and localization, the transition of payroll services to ARINSO's global service centers can be accomplished quickly and smoothly. ARINSO's global transformation team is experienced in the design and transition of HR and Payroll services in over 45 countries, and uses a robust methodology that takes into account all levels of transition, including organizational readiness for the outsourced service delivery model. Services will be provided from ARINSO's HR Service Centers in Belgium (Brussels), US (Atlanta), and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur).



Jos Sluys, CEO ARINSO International, "We are extremely pleased with Innovene selecting ARINSO as partner for its HR and Payroll services. Being part of the BP Group, the Innovene team already has unequalled experience in working with external HR providers. Together we are creating a highly competitive HR organisation at Innovene, based on a strong, proven global HR service delivery model enabled by euHReka."



Bob Cameron, Program Director Innovene, "With ARINSO and its euHReka platform, we have selected a partner who is leading on both a truly global service delivery approach and a unique HR platform. EuHReka goes much beyond a preconfigured SAP solution and embeds global processes, an HR transformation roadmap, service delivery technology and an innovative service delivery model. Timing and budget would have been unachievable without ARINSO's euHReka and proven expertise."
