Waikato District Health Board has partnered with Advanced Management Systems (AMS), New Zealand’s leading Software as a Service (SaaS) provider of workforce management solutions to the health care sector, to deliver an end-to-end Cloud solution that serves its workforce management, payroll and HR functions.
AMS is delighted to be a sponsor of the 4th Annual HR Analytics Conference to be held at the Crowne Plaza, Auckland, on the 14-15 November 2016.
This year again, AMS is participating in the Walking Stars half marathon, which is New Zealand's first night-time walking half marathon, taking place in Auckland, raising funds for the Cancer Society.
Joseph Yip, CEO of AMS, will be attending the Gartner Symposium, which is the most important gathering of CIOs and Senior IT Executives. This year, the Symposium’s theme is “Lead 360. Drive Digital to the Core”.
Noel Horne, Account Manager, and Tobin Blathwayt, CFO, are attending the Health Sector Finance Workshop on the 17 – 18 October in Hamilton, organised by the Waikato District Health Board.
AMS has a strong track record with central government and health sector organisations. Its solutions now pay around 25% of New Zealand’s Public Service employees and 50% of the Public Health workforce – more than 50,000 people. Its Outsource operation alone pays close to half a billion dollars in salaries and wages each year.
Noel Reid, the chief executive of AMS, says the agreement with MPI also provides scope for innovation and continuous improvement. Together the ministry and AMS are reviewing a number of HR processes, with the objective of automating administrative work, increasing efficiency and reducing cost.
“AMS is driven to provide greater efficiencies and benefits to the public sector. Modern systems and solutions are about more than just automating payroll. Today’s tools help an organisation with things such as simplifying workforce planning, engaging with people during performance management and professional development, compliance reporting and empowering management with decision making.”
AMS also has its eyes on opportunities across the Tasman following Mr Reid’s attendance at SSON (Shared Services and Outsourcing Network conference) in Melbourne in May.
“Australian payroll costs, as revealed in the Hackett report at SSON, indicate there’s an enormous opportunity for us to provide our outsourced solutions to Australian organisations faced with complexities,” Mr Reid says.
“At SSON, shared services entities were talking about a hybrid model where they outsource responsibilities to specialists,” he says. “AMS definitely fits the criteria.”
