Is the cloud the right choice for payroll?

Linda Woolley quoted as President of Nortek Solutions, alongside Chaayanath Mysore (VP and CIO of a national payroll vendor) and Timothy Banks (partner, Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP), on the move to multi-tenant cloud payroll.

"In 2009, we said this is where we are going to head and it's going to be multi-tenanted. So no client would ever fear the risk of access by another client."

"I came away from my initial meeting with the very impressive Workzoom team thinking this emerging HCM solution vendor ... not only lives by the 'vendor as strategic partner' credo but seems to be extended it even further."
