IT Magnet Developing Payroll System for Aussie Pay

The Background Aussie Pay, one of Australia’s largest payroll outsource companies, processes more than 10 million pay cheques to its client every year. Compared to in-house processing, outsourcing payroll service offers a viable and attractive alternative for many companies. The Business Needs Considering the fact that their current Payroll system is less than three years old it took a lot of courage for Aussie Pay to decide that the system must be replaced with a robust and futuristic solution. So what prompted the investment for the newer system? The key reason was that Aussie Pay is on the verge of growing. It anticipates sharp increase of customer base and plans to extend its services to other areas such as Human Resource Management. In the process of growing Aussie pay partnered up with other companies to streamline its operations. This prompted a distributed computing system, between Aussie Pay, its customers and its partners, from a single access point. The Challenge Develop a distributed computing system integrating Aussie Pay’s and its partners’ software systems via the Internet Security must be to its highest level as the solution is Internet based Single point of entry using web browser for both Aussie Pay and its partners The solutions Platform: .Net Data communication: Internet Data Sharing: XML web services Database: MS SQL Programming language: XML, VB, C++, C#, Java, XSL Application Interface: Web browser Reporting: Crystal report Security: Role based security in .Net frame work The result Significant saving of cost in data communication towards Data Carrier companies Due to browser based presentation no software to install and hardly any support cost Significant saving of time as little communication is needed for data sharing One point access; hence little confusion and little user training
