TPG Members Join Forces SaaS.com and Exact Payroll, Inc. Form Strategic Partnership

October 04, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. – October 4, 2007 – SaaS.com a.k.a. WebApps, Inc., a leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) with a major push in Time & Labor Management, announces its newly established partnership with Exact Payroll, Inc., a Payroll, Time and Attendance, and Human Resources organization based outside of Huntingdon Valley, PA. The partnership emerged when representatives from both companies met at The Payroll Group (TPG) Conference this past May in Nashville, TN.

Beneficial to both parties, the partnership expands SaaS.com's geographic reach, while at the same time gives Exact Payroll, Inc. the opportunity to offer a more complete solution. One of the key considerations Exact Payroll, Inc. had in choosing a Time & Labor Management software vendor was that it offered a web-based biometric solution. "SaaS.com's cutting-edge product, that includes a web-based platform able to communicate with biometric devices, will give us a great advantage," explained Exact Payroll, Inc. President Mitchell Lightman. "The scheduling module and flexibility of SaaS.com's platform is what differentiates it from competitors, making us the more appealing option."

Generally, web-based solutions offered today are very simple applications that are not developed with complex payroll and human resource issues in mind. "We invest significant resources so our business applications and back-office tools are able to satisfy the needs of small, medium, and large enterprises across a broad spectrum of industries," stated SaaS.com's CEO Bill Loss. "Allowing service providers to satisfy the needs of a broad spectrum of customers with a single software platform differentiates us from most other software providers."

Among other factors leading to the creation of this partnership, one of the major selling points was the ability Exact Payroll, Inc. would have to compete more effectively in the marketplace. "Middle size companies have limited choices these days, leaving them with only a few high-end vendors that may have a solution, but fall short in other key areas," Lightman said. "Upwards of 80% of our customers come to us from competitors and all cite the same issue: they cannot get good support from the service end. Typically, once a company becomes large, it loses its ability to support customers in a handholding manner. SaaS.com allows us to be a competitive company by not only providing us with the functionality for our customers, but the ability to present a high level of boutique-type service."

With their stake mainly in payroll processing, tax filing, time and attendance solutions, and human resource information services, the choice to offer a solution that is web-based ensures that Exact Payroll, Inc. will be able to compete in a marketplace that is moving toward becoming more technologically advanced. Offering a system that will interface with biometric devices will compliment Exact Payroll, Inc.'s existing revenue stream and help keep them in line with their clients' technological demands.
