Ultimate Software’s CIO Bill Hicks Presents at American Payroll Association’s 27th Annual Congress

WHAT:
There’s a fast-growing trend to streamline payroll and human capital management through Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). But what is SaaS exactly? Does it make sense for your business? This presentation will focus on why SaaS is such an appealing model, what makes SaaS payroll different from a traditional service provider for payroll — and the very best questions to ask a SaaS provider before signing up for its services.

Bill Hicks, CIO at Ultimate Software, will debunk common SaaS myths, discuss best practices for your evaluation process, and provide details about how payroll and HR combined with SaaS delivery can be the secret recipe for business success.

WHEN:
Wednesday, May 20, 2009, 9:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. PT

WHERE:
The American Payroll Association’s 27th Annual Congress
May 19-23, 2009, Long Beach, California
