PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has awarded apayroll business process outsourcing contractto Logica on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The contract covers 18,000 employees and pensioners, with Logica
running the service on an Oracle HCM platform using its own secure
hosting environment Odis (on demand infrastructure service).
The pay-as-you-go model removes the need to pay a traditional
upfront software licence fee.
This deal marks the first win since Logica announced its
partnership with Oracle to offer Oracle Human Capital Management
(HCM) as part of its own outsourced HR and payroll service.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers service is due to roll-out this
December and interfaces with the firm's existing HR and finance
systems.
The Oracle system will allow the PWC team to run error tracking
and advance checks on payroll, rather than having to wait until the
end of each month.
It will also enable them to run a management dashboard to
evaluate the
payroll in line with the overall business, and allow them to
run workflows and self-service e-mail generation.
Logica recently announced 1,300 onshore redundancies as it moves
towards managing its contracts from offshore locations such as
India.
