\"Wipro-Oracle2\"<\/span><\/a>Folks – I can exclusively reveal to you today that Wipro BPO and Oracle are shortly going to announce a partnership dubbed "simPlify", whereby Wipro will deliver PeopleSoft HR to both mid-market and high-end clients via a hosted utility BPO service, that will cater for 20 major countries.  They will also partner with The Hackett Group as part of the arrangement to provide performance benchmarks for HR processes.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The mid-market play is a true move towards "one-to-many", whereas the enterprise play will be a more customized approach.  Clients will need to invest <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

a minimal initial outlay to move into a "pay as you drink" model, based on a per-employee-per-month pricing, to receive PeopleSoft-based HR delivery services, most notably payroll.  The industry has been crying out for this for years, and Wipro and Oracle have broken the mold by putting together a delivery model for the mid-market that clients can move onto without huge upfront costs.  <\/p>\n

Moreover, the yawning chasm of mid-market HR service delivery, which has been under-serviced for PeopleSoft-based HR services in a utility BPO model, is now being filled.  ADP, Ceridian, NorthgateARINSO and others will look warily at this move, which threatens to blow-up the traditional model, that has been often plagued by expensive implementations, long inflexible contracts and poorly integrated software.  Not to mention Wipro's services competitors which are vying for increased share in the HR BPO market, namely ACS, HP, IBM, Infosys and TCS. Clients in this environment simply cannot shell-out multiple millions to get global payroll and HRMS – managed services with limited Capex is their only real choice today.  Bringing hosted software into the BPO model is the answer, and this is a true game-changer in the industry. <\/p>\n

Wipro will absorb much of the client implementation costs as they move onto this solution, which they will host across their delivery hubs in India, Latin America, the USA and the UK.  They will look to roll-in China and Japanese delivery later in the year.  Wipro will provide clients with Level 1, 2 and 3 support, with Oracle level 4.  The pair have also incorporated benchmark data from The Hackett Group to help clients assess their performance levels, which is embedded in the software at no additional fee.<\/p>\n

More to follow with this trend… the next question is how the incumbent service providers will react, and, interestingly, whether this will put more urgency on Workday to make its BPO partnership move.  In addition, we can certainly expect similar BPO\/hosted software partnerships to spring up in other BPO disciplines, notably supplier management and finance.<\/p>\n
