Healthcare Technology and News: Capella Healthcare Selects UltiPro from Ultimate Software


Capella Healthcare has selected Ultimate Software’s UltiPro to manage its human resources, payroll, recruitment and performance functions.

Ultimate Software’s UltiPro automatically tracks all HR-related information about the company’s employees. This includes employment history, performance, job, and salary information, career development, and health and wellness programs.

Companies can also record key information for government compliance and reporting with UltiPro. UltiPro also ensures compliance with U.S. and Canadian legislation for protecting sensitive data such as employee social security or social insurance numbers.

To handle its increasingly complex needs and provide more sophisticated reporting capabilities, Capella Healthcare was looking for an integrated solution with comprehensive, end-to-end workforce management functionality. The company also wanted the solution provider to manage the solution infrastructure, including applying version upgrades. Handling day-to-day system and hardware maintenance was also a priority for the company.

“As a unified HCM solution, UltiPro is able to handle the full range of these challenges while our SaaS model relieves companies like Capella Healthcare of the IT responsibilities that are associated with typical HCM software,” said Greg Swick, chief sales officer for Ultimate, in a statement. “We service many customers in the healthcare industry and we are pleased that Capella Healthcare has joined that list.”

The features provided with the Ultimate Software’s UltiPro, including SaaS HCM solution, proved to be the perfect combination for Capella Healthcare. The software also allows Capella Healthcare to manage the needs of its growing business with its features such as managing the calculation of employee and employer premiums and accurately taking deductions from paychecks.

Recently, Ulimate Software announced that Scottsdale Healthcare, a nonprofit organization serving the Northeast Arizona Valley through health facilities, campuses, home health services, and community health education, has become a more efficient organization while "going green" with UltiPro's Web self-service portal. Since benefits documents and many other HR forms and handbooks for employees are now posted on the UltiPro portal, Scottsdale has also been able to use UltiPro to make great strides toward its objective to go paperless.
