RIGA, Latvia – March 5, 2010 – Infor Global Solutions and AGroup are pleased to announce that they have signed a cross-referral partner agreement. As a result of this new relationship, AGroup’s flagship payroll and HR management solution – HRB® – will compliment Infor’s total offering of enterprise products. Infor, being one of the biggest software providers, will thus help its customers evaluate the advantages of HRB system.
Infor customers now get an opportunity to automate HR management processes by HRB system, which has shown to good advantage and is completely integrated with Infor products.
Hundreds of multinational corporations have been using HRB® for over a decade to complement Infor FMS SunSystems with a tightly integrated and deeply localized payroll solution. It should be noted that HRB was developed in 1995 as a separate module for a set of instruments for Sun Systems financial record-keeping, presented on the market today by Infor. Now HRB is a functionally complete HR-system. It is commonly accepted that quality of localization is the number one key factor determining customer ROI, when it comes to payroll and HR solutions. HRB’s® distinguishing product feature is its unique parametric architecture, specifically designed to address the issue of localization quality. HRB® solutions are currently distributed in 24 countries in EMEA region; implementation and support services are offered by a number of Infor Channel partners.
