S3: Human Resources and Payroll Consulting
Give your human resources team the tools they need to effectively manage your employees, from hire to retire. A key element in the future state vision of Human Resources is to focus more time on value-added activities and less time on administration (managing paper, entering data, tracking down information, etc.). Employee satisfaction can be increased, data made more consistent, reporting made easier, and operating costs decreased through a collaborative approach in such areas as benefit plan administration, management reporting and maintenance of demographic data, and payroll processing. Here are just some of the application modules which we can help you achieve success:
- Benefits
- Human Resources
- Absence Management
- Payroll
- Personnel Administration
- Taxation (including BSI Tax Factory)
- Manager / Employee Self Service
S3: Financials
A standard financial management platform enables users to coordinate efforts among all managers responsible for the financial aspects of an organization. Improved financial user satisfaction and increased access to information, as well as better and more timely decision-making, pricing, marketing, ordering, and reduced financial closing time are some of the expected benefits.
LSF 9.0 Upgrades
We have certified consultants to assist you with new LSF 9.0 upgrades on both Unix-based and Windows platforms. Also we can help with the pre- and post- LSF installation tasks which we have found to be vitally important to the success of your 9.0 investment, such as migrating to the new LS9 security model from LAUA (see below)
LS9 Security
With the new 9.0 Lawson Security, there is much confusion as to what it is, how it works, and how and when it should be implemented. We believe 9.0 Lawson Security can be clarified and successfully implemented with your organization using our top-notch mix of product knowledge, hands-on training abilities, implementation management and lastly, our desire to give you the power to maximize full utilization of this module. There are both positives and negatives to utilizing either or both your existing LAUA security and 9.0 Lawson Security. Let us help you maximize your resources in ways which best fit your organization.

SOX
Since it became law in 2002, the Sarbanes Oxley Act has extracted massive amounts of time and energy from executives, managers and staff across the entire spectrum of commerce. As new provisions take effect, the bar is raised ever higher, putting added pressure on companies to strengthen their corporate governance. Lawson Software addresses critical compliance issues by helping businesses build a solid system of internal controls - the means to satisfy not only regulators, but investors, employees and the public at large. Our team has experience as former auditors in the financial and IT areas, and we have led or participated in several comprehensive audits based on COBIT, MAR, and other frameworks as well.
