Lawson Software has introduced Lawson Human Capital Management On-Demand, a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that offers customers a monthly price and single point of contact for all aspects of managed hosting for their Lawson Human Capital Management installation. The new offering includes secure and reliable hosting services provided by IBM Hosting in its world-class certified data centers.
Lawson Human Capital Management On-Demand is designed to simplify the enterprise application ownership experience for customers. A subscription-based pricing model allows companies to pay on a per-user, per-month basis, giving customers more predictability in their Lawson investment. Guaranteed service levels, such as response times of 30 minutes or less, also provide users the highest level of support available for Lawson solutions.
In addition, the solution requires little upfront investment compared to traditional enterprise software installations, eliminating the need to acquire hardware, which helps minimize demands on customers' IT resources and helps provide a lower total cost of ownership.
IBM to Be Lawson's Primary Host Provider
Lawson Human Capital Management On-Demand builds upon Lawson's recently announced alliance with IBM to be the primary hosting provider for Lawson's on-demand and hosted offerings. The new offering provides customers a single Lawson point of contact for all aspects of managed hosting for their solution, allowing users to focus on their business.
The managed solution includes Lawson's core Human Capital Management suite, including human resources, payroll, and employee and manager self-service. Strategic HR applications including Lawson Performance Management, Lawson Performance Management for Healthcare, Lawson Business Intelligence, and e-Recruiting also are available as additions to the core offering.
According to a November 2006 Gartner research report, 25 percent of business software will be delivered as software-as-a-service by 2011.
"Lawson Human Capital Management On-Demand makes it simple for the customer," said Larry Dunivan, vice president of Global Human Capital Management Products for Lawson. "Guaranteed service levels, clear pricing, and quality standards let Lawson customers know up-front what to expect, ensuring they realize measurable returns on their investment in Lawson."
More than 1,000 companies use Lawson Human Capital Management applications to manage talent, automate administrative HR processes and help HR staff focus on more strategic, value-added employee initiatives. Lawson Human Capital Management applications provide organizations with the information they need to maximize workforce potential, while helping HR leaders contribute to organizational excellence with applications that directly support business operations.
Lawson Human Capital Management On-Demand is initially generally available in North America.
