IBM has announced that EmployWise, an HR Software-as-a-Service provider, will deliver its services on a cloud computing infrastructure using the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering. This agreement will help EmployWise have better focus on continued innovation and rapid on-demand expansion, while IBM manages the back-end operations like installing, upgrading and maintaining the company’s valuable high-end infrastructure.
 
The IBM SmartCloud Enterprise provides rapid access to a multi-tenant shared cloud computing infrastructure that can be scaled to the needs of an enterprise and is priced on actual usage. The IBM offering also offers a ready to use software catalogue with various licensing options. This enables EmployWise to grow their business without having to worry about the associated increase in IT infrastructure costs and the inherent challenges associated with managing the IT infrastructure.
 
The IBM SmartCloud Enterprise offering is delivered from IBM owned and managed Points of Delivery (POD's), giving EmployWise an assurance that their SaaS solution and critical data of their customers is secured by the best available technology in the industry. The IBM SmartCloud Enterprise is based on a pay-as-you-go model and is deployed based on business need thereby reducing the operating expenditure - a cost control capability that cannot be leveraged in a traditional infrastructure setup when there is surplus capacity that is a cost overhead.
 
As a winner of the IBM Beacon Award 2008 for SaaS innovation, EmployWise uses eight key modules that cover the entire employee life-cycle from recruitment to retirement.  The company’s customers represent a range of industry verticals with an employee base that range from 10s to 1,000s.
