CherryRoad Solution
CherryRoad evaluated business processes and developed standard processes across all company entities while simultaneously deploying an HR system in multiple locations in multiple countries.
Client Benefit
- A consistent, global system that has streamlined HR functions and supports regulatory and management reporting requirements.
- For XL Capital Ltd., a Bermuda-based Fortune 500 insurance and financial services firm, it was critical to implement a single, consistent HR system worldwide. XL Capital had grown through acquisitions across North America, Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia, and South America. By 2001, the company was operating in 30 countries.
- The companies that now formed XL Capital continued to use a variety of legacy human resources systems, making it difficult for management to track and manage employee data. Even obtaining headcount was a time-consuming, inexact task, requiring manual consolidation of numerous spreadsheets. XL Capital needed a seamless system to streamline its HR functions and support regulatory and management reporting. The company purchased an HR application, then hired CherryRoad Technologies, a certified implementation leader, to implement the system.
