Ceridian Named Hot Vendor in Ventana Research 2015 Value Index for Payroll Management

MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwired - February 19, 2015) - Ceridian announces it has been named a Hot Vendor in the Ventana Research 2015 Value Index for Payroll Management. The report -- the only quantified, research-based index evaluating technology vendors and products for payroll management software -- notes Ceridian's commitment to innovation in payroll processing and its ability to deliver return on investment with Dayforce Human Capital Management.

The Ventana Research Value Index evaluates application vendors and their products in seven key categories. Five categories are product related: Usability, Manageability, Reliability, Capability and Adaptability. Two categories are customer assurance related: Vendor Validation (commitment to innovation in Payroll) and Total Cost of Ownership/Return On Investment. Dayforce HCM Payroll ranked in the top three for five out of the seven evaluation categories and took the top spot in the categories of Manageability and Validation.

As a single application across all human capital management domains, Dayforce HCM Payroll allows managers to view, edit, fix and preview payroll in real-time. By freeing payroll administrators from the rigid and fragile processes of interfaced Time & Pay systems, organizations are able to spend more time focusing on the quality and accuracy of pay -- rather than rushing to close payroll in a very short window at the end of the pay period. This transformative innovation is accented by rich reporting & embedded analytics capabilities, which complement the processes and insight payroll professionals already have.

"We are committed to excellence in the area of payroll processing," says David Ossip, CEO, Ceridian. "The very nature of our single application solution helps ensure payroll accuracy and manage regulatory compliance while enhancing audit and review processes. We are focused on supporting business requirements with results and maintaining our leadership position in payroll services with comprehensive solutions that deliver return-on-investment."

"Ceridian has made major investments in modernizing and extending its payroll management capabilities," says Mark Smith, CEO and chief research officer of Ventana Research. "The company shows a commitment to its payroll product line, providing a configurable cloud-based payroll application with mobile access capabilities, unified payroll, workforce management and HR management applications and flexible analytic capabilities embedded in the application."

Dayforce HCM is a cloud-based application for Payroll, Benefits, Workforce Management, Human Resources, Talent Management, Document Management, and Analytics. As a single application for HCM, Dayforce provides organizations with unprecedented access to real-time data and results across all domains of HCM. With one employee record, one user experience and no interfaces, organizations can find and hire the right people, process pay, manage benefits enrollment, maintain HR records, and schedule staff with work-life balance while monitoring compliance.
