Interesting Developments for ARINSO

Revelation Software Concepts Pty Ltd is a member of the SAO Software Partner program. They announced recently that global HR specialist ARINSO International has chosen change management solutions for its SAP based business information infrastructure. ARINSO currently employs more than 2,500 people in 27 countries located on five different continents. They provide HR solutions to one in five of the world’s largest companies. Through the current HR management system that is has installed, ARINSO serves more than 6 million employees overall. Their HR outsourcing solutions also serve 600,000 employees throughout the world.
Rev-Trac provides enhanced change control capabilities to many major organizations with their SAP based IT systems. At ARINSO, Rev-Trac brings capabilities to manage customers more efficiently, change HR needs effectively in an auditable manner and at the lowest possible cost. It will help ARINSO to ensure their outsourced services remain cost competitive even in those highly regulated areas. ARINSO chose Rev-Trac simply because it has the capabilities to enforce change control processes, provide automated workflow and automated transport migrations and also has built in sequencing error prevention. These abilities are considered a compelling argument for the partnership with RSC in change management technology. The decision of ARINSO to partner with Revelation Software was made in order to enhance existing HRMS platform SAP and is likely to continue with SAP solution and migration, although HR is still uncertain.
Many know that when Northgate announced the acquisition of ARINSO, many analysts wanted to wait and determine whether or not ARINSO continues with its current technology SAP or migrates slowly to Northgate solutions. The current partnership with Revelation however, offers a hint that ARINSO may still want to continue with SAP. We can at least believe that they will continue for the near future.
This very interesting development was discussed during a recent web cast which was hosted simultaneously by EquaTerra and IDC on the Changes in HR Outsourcing. A participant asked a question about how the Northgate acquisition of ARINSO should be viewed and one panelist stated that it is an interesting development – rather a very bold move on the part of Northgate.
