Interliant, Inc. Tuesday launched
its Web-based payroll and human resources solution designed to serve the
basic needs of small business enterprises.
Interliant’ssolution consists of a standard package
of payroll modules, benefits management, and human resource functions.
Accessible over the Web, the application service provider delivers many of
the benefits available to Fortune 500 companies, to smaller online
businesses. Users pay a fixed monthly fee of $8,000, which includes
toll-free application support seven days a week, 24 hours a day
Randy Atkin, Interliant vice president of enterprise resource planning
solutions, said many small to medium enterprises considered advanced
payroll and human resource programs were out reach of their budgets and
provided services they did not really need.
“SMEs today hesitate to invest in a full-scale payroll and HR management
system because the capabilities of such a system are simply more than they
need,” Atkin said. “But these same companies can benefit from a basic
solution that helps them quickly and cost-effectively put to use an
outsourced payroll and HR capability.”
Interliant is one of the pioneers of application service rentals. Its
portfolio included messaging and knowledge management, security,
e-commerce, customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning,
distributed learning, and Web-site hosting services.
