Zalaris is advancing its leadership position in the fast-growing market for outsourced HR solutions by combining its own local consultants - across the Nordic and Baltics regions, Poland and India - with the world's best cloud-based HR technology and services. The company's move to create a SuccessFactors Center of Excellence further solidifies its distinction as Northeastern Europe's one-stop source for holistic HR / human capital management (HCM) solutions.

The SuccessFactors HCM Suite has emerged in recent years as the preferred HR technology platform, complementing Zalaris' HR core competencies and comprehensive service offering. By more deeply partnering with SuccessFactors, an SAP company, Zalaris continues to elevate its value and capabilities central to successful, modernized HR and payroll functions.

Zalaris recently became an SAP Gold Partner due to its high-level performance and expertise, including HR cloud innovations that enterprise employees and management can easily adopt. These and other developments set the foundation for the new SuccessFactors Center of Excellence, backed by Zalaris' more than 15 years' experience addressing both strategic and transactional HR needs.

'This center of excellence is the culmination of numerous best practices and services we've honed in HR outsourcing models over the past couple of decades,' explained Zalaris CEO Hans-Petter Mellerud. 'It's designed to help current and new clients fully understand all the relevant factors, drivers, solution options and Zalaris benefits, such as how we harmonize and transform multi-country HR operations.'

The Zalaris SuccessFactors CoE also responds directly to heightened interest in and demand for secure cloud-based HR solutions. The center provides sharp insight and guidance on complex questions pertaining to, for example, managing and integrating extensive master data while ensuring timely self-serve permission-based information access for staff and management. Zalaris applies proven methodologies, principles and practices to all HR requirements, all the way through to high-volume payroll processing and reporting.

SuccessFactors deployment covering 32,500 employees shows CoE concept in action across nine countries

Zalaris recently announced the expansion of an HR outsourcing agreement to include SuccessFactors in the cloud for a diversified enterprise employing 32,500 across nine countries. The Center of Excellence advantages are reflected in this undertaking, from reinforcing customer trust in Zalaris to delivering a strong grasp of short- and longer-term HR cloud advantages, the technology innovations involved, implementation timeframes - everything relevant to informed decision making.

'Most enterprises want to accelerate adoption of new technologies to run their businesses more efficiently and more cost effectively,' Mellerud pointed out. 'From an HR standpoint, they also want to hire, retain and grow top talent, connecting their business goals to operational standards. The transformation we enable with SuccessFactors comes into especially clear focus through the Center of Excellence approach. Whether mid-size or large enterprise, we're providing concrete answers specific to HR in the cloud and on the front lines of any business model.'
