GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SumTotal® Systems, Inc., the innovator in strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, congratulates the New York City Department of Education for its selection as a recipient of the Nucleus Research 2011 Technology ROI Award. Recognized for its implementation of the SumTotal Workforce Management Time and Attendance solution, the New York City Department of Education was chosen for skillful deployment of IT solutions that produced a significant financial return on investment (ROI).
When faced with the challenge of improving processes and systems to control costs, the Department of Education focused on time, attendance and payroll administration processes to uncover automation opportunities. SumTotal Workforce Management not only helped the public school system achieve 3,478-percent ROI, but also allowed them to significantly reduce payroll errors and eliminate paid time off inaccuracies with phone-based time and attendance recording, streamlined administration and reduced leave liability concerns.
“The New York City Department of Education is an example of how companies can successfully align IT investments with overarching business goals to deliver significant ROI, and how they can take full advantage of the benefits realized when implementing a workforce management solution,” said Hardeep Gulati, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Products, at SumTotal.
Recipients of the Technology ROI Award demonstrate the link between IT strategy and business goals. For the NYC Department of Education, this meant automating timekeeping practices to reduce costs, eliminate manual, labor-intensive processes, accurately maintain time records, track absences and apply sick and vacation accruals.
“The Department of Education conducted a study using three years worth of data to illustrate the ROI achieved from automating time and attendance recording and our results were amazing,” said William Mardenborough, administrator of Financial Security for New York City Department of Education. “Being recognized further validates our commitment and hard work in delivering an automated time and attendance process with [SumTotal’s] Workforce Management solution and providing business value to the Department of Education.”
“Maximizing efficiencies, such as scheduling resources, and controlling costs are key challenges for today’s education institutions,” Gulati added. “By implementing an automated time and attendance process, the New York City Department of Education eliminated overpayment to employees, streamlined processes that facilitate accurate recording of time and attendance and realized a significant cost savings in time and payroll deductions. We are delighted for the New York City Department of Education to be recognized for their leadership approach to workforce management and congratulate them on their efforts.”
