Testimonials

"We chose to work with NorthgateArinso because we wanted a well established product from a well established company. We didn’t have the resource to take a leap of faith with less mature software. The reason we chose ResourceLink was that we needed to learn from others not with others, 18 months into the contract and I still believe we made the right decision to implement ResourceLink"
JL, Head of Payroll
Durham County Council

“Outsourcing the payroll function to NorthgateArinso allows us to concentrate our efforts on strategic HR tasks. NorthgateArinso has been responsible for paying staff at our head office and our pensioners since 2003. Following the success of the last two years we have every confidence in moving the payroll of our store staff over to the NorthgateArinso solution.”

“We are always looking at ways to improve our efficiency and cost effectiveness. Using the NorthgateArinso system will give us better management information and allow us to focus on the key tasks that matter to our 5000 employees and the people with a learning disability and families we support."

“The ResourceLink pensions solution has met our requirements in terms of ease of use,” says Lorna Jesty. “It has sensible steps for processing records and the background
tables used in calculations are easy to maintain. The overall extra efficiency means there is a definite ongoing cost saving."

"We're already very business-led in our HR department. We have six staff for 3,000 people, and we wanted to keep this ratio and increase the focus on useful, strategic activity - not the admin. The only reason for not introducing self-service earlier was simply because we were waiting for the right software. We now have an integrated HR, payroll and self service system with NorthgateArinso which means there is a straightforward sharing of data and better security."

In outsourcing our payroll, we have not only improved the quality of that service, but allowed our division to concentrate on its core business focus.”

“We needed to introduce a truly integrated human resources system that would provide HSS with single data entry for both payroll and personnel systems, generate a wide range of reports and support ‘self-service’ human resources.
