Hosted Abra HRMS Saves DuBois 50% Costs

Sharonville, Ohio-based DuBois Chemicals, a global provider of sustainable cleaning solutions with more than 300 employees in the U.S. and Canada, recently implemented Sage Abra HRMS (Human Resource Management System) software in a hosted environment. DuBois Chemicals estimates that internal control of payroll and HR saves the company 50 percent per employee, compared to the cost of an outsourced provider. The system also enables DuBois Chemicals to do more in-depth reporting and provides greater flexibility, while also providing automatic updates, security, and backups through a hosted vendor, and personalized local support through a Sage-certified business partner. Return on investment for the HR/payroll system is expected within 14 months.
