Advantages
The Acsendo Solution has numerous advantages over traditional products. We continually upgrade our solution, but here are some of the advantages today:
No IT Investment or Resources Required
Acsendo only requires an Internet Browser and an Internet Connection. Therefore, you do not need to purchase additional database licenses or server hardware. In addition, your IT support personnel are freed up from additional work in supporting our products or maintaining them. In fact, they are not required during the implementation project either. You may only require their services in reviewing and approving the Acsendo technology and security capabilities during the sales process.
Our web-based, fully-hosted solution keeps your IT support and hardware costs down. Acsendo provides all the servers and databases eliminating the need for an additional investment at your end.
In addition, our pricing philosophy is a low-upfront cost followed by monthly fees. The monthly fees include:
Consequently, when you compare Acsendo to traditional HR Software companies, you will discover the high risk of purchasing their solutions. As other HR Executives will tell you, oftentimes when they purchase these expensive solutions upfront, they later discover costly issues but they are now financially committed. Some of these issues are, but not limited to:
Acsendo eliminates these risks and costs.
Due to the nature of Acsendo's 100% web-based design, it naturally includes self-service throughout. As an Administrator, you can decide which each employee, supervisor, and manager view, edits, and approves. By giving employees (ESS) the power view their own information and submit changes, you free up your HR staff to focus on more strategic projects.
The same applies to Supervisors and Managers. They too can be empowered with knowledge and better manage their employees.
Although many vendors have now added Self-Service, Acsendo has always delivered it and still delivers it with more flexibility and potential than other "bolt-on" web extensions.
Automated Workflow and Email Notifications
Acsendo automates workflow so that the approval process is recorded for audits and proper authorization is enforced. In addition, email notification can be used so that busy managers and employees are reminded of actions they need to take.
Workflow can be created for simple changes in the solution, business procedures, or for triggers.
All of Acsendo's modules are created with the user in mind. We want the product to be simple to use and understand. "Where to go next" should be solved intuitively by the user. By using technologies such as Ajax, we are able to include on the spot help text and shortcuts for common tasks.
Through the nature of our technology, Acsendo is extremely scalable. Adding users or new modules is a breeze both solution-wise as well as pricing-wise.
Just as our technology makes the product easy to use, the technology also makes it easier and faster for us to implement for you. Our implementations typically can be handled in 60-90 days regardless of the size of the company. The biggest challenges faced during an Acsendo implementation is the client's bandwidth and the roll-out schedule.
Consequently, Acsendo implementations also cost less both in fees and forgotten costs that occur in longer implementations, such as the direct labor cost and the indirect opportunity cost of employees' time.
On average, companies in the U.S. change payroll solutions once every three years. Therefore, we have built our solution with the belief that you may change your payroll solution often. We have an integration team standing by to build any interfaces that you may require.
The Acsendo Solution includes a Import/Export engine which allows you to build custom imports and exports on the fly. With this flexibility, we reduce your costs of integration
The Acsendo Solution is modular. Whether you only have a need to automate Timesheets or whether you need a Total Workforce Management Solution or you need specific HR solutions, we can put together a package for you.
