NorthgateArinso, the HR division of Northgate Information Solutions, has announced a business process outsourcing (BPO) agreement with German giant SAP AG.

The deal will enable NorthgateArinso to deliver additional services further up the HR value chain, expanding provision of payroll and employee administration services to offering customers full human capital management outsourced solutions, using its preconfigured euHReka HR services platform.

This agreement builds on over a decade of providing HR integration, consultancy, and outsourcing expertise in support of SAP solutions.

Monica Barron, VP of research at the Everest Research Institute, said: “Talent management is proving to be a significant component of human resources outsourcing, with increasing numbers of buyers looking to include processes such as recruiting, learning, and performance management in HRO transactions.

"Buyers are looking for a combination of process expertise, technology and tools to support talent management, and the blended offering and delivery capabilities of both NorthgateArinso and SAP should help to meet a growing demand in the marketplace.”
