SumTotal®
Systems, LLC, the largest independent provider of integrated HR
solutions, has announced a new talent expansion platform implementation
with global financial software services provider Misys. Misys will use
SumTotal’s cloud solutions, together with SAP HR, on the SumTotal elixHRTM
platform, to deliver global performance management, compensation
management and a learning system.
Misys needed a system which would complement its existing SAP HR
solution, drive accountability and productivity and deliver greater
functionality needed to identify, develop and expand its talent.
SumTotal elixHR met Misys’ ambitious set of functional and technical
requirements, including a ‘zero customisation’ approach that could
support the company’s diverse employee and skill base.
Misys selected SumTotal’s cloud-based solution based on its ability to
interact with existing systems and to deliver results quickly,
eliminating the need for expensive upgrades or extra investment. The
solution enables Misys to extend and link HR information from disparate
systems in order to enhance employee engagement, creating an agile and
responsive talent management system. Misys rebranded the SumTotal
solution as MiCareer.
“MiCareer has already shown itself to be truly transformational,”
commented Charlotte deMetz, Global HR Director of Misys. “As our
leadership team communicates organisational and business goals through
the HR system, staff are building a bottom-up picture of how they will
contribute towards the overall big picture and, how they need to develop
their skills in order to meet their career aspirations. This top-down,
bottom-up approach is starting to see the emergence of a high
performing, engaged organisation, ready to support the ambitious and
aspirational business targets we have set ourselves for the next few
years.”
Misys is using the following core elements of the new Sum Total solution:
-
Learning Management System: Using SumTotal’s solution, Misys
has created a catalogue of courses and training which enables
employees to complete courses as and when they want. The system
assesses online and automatically updates a user’s profile. It makes
training and learning easier for employees to manage and shows a
progression path for future promotion and development. Skills are
attached to both internally and externally sourced courses, allowing
employees to search for training based on skill development
requirements identified throughout the year.
-
Compensation Management: Misys operates three types of reviews
through the compensation tool; merit review, bonus review and
promotion review. The new system allows for budget monitoring from the
bottom up as well as top level reviews on how a whole team is doing
compared to expectations and in line with overall annual budget.
-
Performance Management: This allows employees to set personal
goals which align to higher level business or team goals. It means
individuals can see how their contributions are affecting and
benefiting the team and ultimately the whole organisation. The system
helps people focus, and means managers can see that people are
spending time on activities which support the business overall.
-
ElixHR: The SumTotal platform that brings all talent data
together in one place and allows a single view of talent, skills and
progression across the business.
-
HR Analytics: Provides a single source of reporting and
analytics across all people data so that people change can be
modelled, talent analysed and business productivity planned.
“More and more businesses are looking to use talent solutions to deliver
tangible value, visible through employees who are productive, engaged
and aligned to the overall vision and culture of the organisation. This,
coupled with the ability to merge business data with people data, brings
a new opportunity for business leaders to better understand and manage
their teams,” commented John Borgerding, CEO, SumTotal Systems. “We have
worked as a close strategic partner with Misys to ensure a smooth and
successful implementation which delivers the business outcomes the team
identified as critical to deliver its corporate vision. The fact that
leading global businesses like Misys are using SumTotal to help create
high-performing organisations and great places to work, validates our
belief that talent solutions, effectively deployed, drive business
growth.”
Helen Thiel, Director of Veran, and Solution Manager on the Misys
implementation commented: “From the initial request for proposal
onwards, the Misys talent project was entirely different from anything
I’ve seen before. In a mere five months we built a system for almost
4,500 people in around 50 countries, and deployed a full range of talent
management tools from performance, compensation, skills and learning
through to analytics. Achieving this in a tight timespan and on a large
scale meant we had to work at lightning speed, and with laser focus on
the outcomes. The speed and efficiency with which we delivered this is a
testament to both Misys’ unwavering commitment to delivering the best
for its staff, and the outstanding quality of SumTotal software. It has
also demonstrated there is a genuine alternative available to businesses
looking to enhance their existing HR functionality without the cost and
risk associated with completely replacing or upgrading legacy HR
systems.”
