Everest is a powerful Canadian payroll and HR solution that gives you the ability to manage payroll processing, scheduling, and employee administration quickly and easily. Everest is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution accessible globally with high availability allowing you to process payroll and manage customers where and when it is convenient for you. Your customers accomplish their own payroll and HR functions in Everest through a secure self-service portal. As an organization looking to expand its offering or improve its services, you can be assured Everest can give you peace of mind and a competitive advantage: Everest is ready right now. The system is currently in use by a Canadian payroll provider servicing two distinct markets. Everest is multi-tenant at a payroll provider level, meaning it can service many payroll providers at the same time with each provider servicing any number of their own customers. It’s fully white-labeled so your own identity and brand can be represented as you like. You can get set up very quickly because the system is already available in the cloud from our secure datacentres – your time to market can be nearly instantaneous. Everest works for the customers you already have. The platform was designed to accommodate customers of any size operating in Canada. The system supports any number of employees working in any number of provinces and territories for any industry. The system is fully multi-lingual and can be configured to use your own terminology if you so choose. The system is flexible at its core and fully configurable to suit the needs of any customer you’re already working with. Everest can open new markets. By offering a new employee management, payroll and scheduling platform integrated with your own services you can reach new organizations and markets that you might not have otherwise been able to reach. Everest is State of the Art. It is the most advanced payroll platform in Canada, architected as a SaaS solution using the latest technologies from Microsoft and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. Everest is scalable. The system is architected to scale both up (bigger and more powerful machines) and out (add more machines). The cloud-based implementation lets the operators change resources as demands dictate. Everest is fully customizable and extensible. The system can be integrated with other web-based (or even non-web-based) technologies through UI and service level integration. You can own the code and take it in any direction that suits your needs. As we mentioned earlier, branding and terminology can be changed without any code changes at all. Everest is easy to use. The system has a very simple and straight-forward look and feel that users find intuitive. Our design team worked hard to make the most complex things look simple and easy to execute. User adoption is high with low support costs as a result. Everest is easy to operate. The system is already hosted in the cloud; running the datacenter can be left to us. If running a payroll operation isn’t your thing we can also provide outsourced payroll operations with a team that will answer the phone and provide support with your identity and brand. Everest enforces accountability. The system provides full auditing and versioning on critical information and reports that make it simple to support customers by providing detail about why calculations were made. Everest is secure. Security is built into every element of the system. The system offers a robust role-based security system with feature based security restricting the operations available to a user and data access security to restrict the information a particular individual can see in every element of the system from the user interface to reports to the data accessed by services. Everest is low risk. The system is already proven in the Canadian market by providing the operating platform for a payroll provider serving two markets. It is hosted from a world-class data centre in Canada with a full disaster recovery plan with redundant servers. The system has a dedicated operations team and software development and evolution team at your disposal with the backing of Protegra. Contact us for more information.
