Yoh, a leading provider of talent and outsourcing services and a unit of
Day & Zimmermann, today announced it is developing and implementing the
next version of the Yoh Exchange, an innovative and award-winning portal
that helps companies accelerate talent acquisition and decrease total
contract services spend. Yoh has also extended its relationship with SAP
America, Inc. by signing a joint marketing agreement. Through the
agreement, the companies will deliver a go-to-market strategy designed
to help customers reduce total cost of ownership of deployments of SAP®
solutions by improving reliability and performance.
The Yoh Exchange will offer customers a platform encompassing content,
commerce and community that facilitates business processes such as time
entry and approval, order management and distribution when it becomes
available this summer. The accompanying managed services program from
Yoh provides customers greater control of the interactions and
information in staffing programs, as well as providing a visible layer
of co-employment insulation.
Yoh is currently collaborating with SAP Consulting on the implementation
of the Yoh Exchange. As part of its expanded partnership, Yoh and SAP
will jointly market the Yoh Exchange as the leading choice for customers
to integrate solutions for supply chain and talent management. While
users of SAP solutions will significantly benefit from the data
integration the Yoh Exchange delivers, companies will not have to run
SAP software to use the Yoh Exchange.
According to Gartner Research Director, Alex Soejarto, “The
competition for talent is tight. Baring any change in demand,
competition for the best talent will continue to be intense. Finding,
hiring and retaining the best high-impact talent requires a staffing
strategy with the right infrastructure that can be incorporated into
existing operational systems. Integrating talent management with ERP,
for example, helps to automate a complex process.”
Through the joint marketing agreement with SAP, the companies will
deliver a go-to-market strategy that aligns their field sales
organizations to jointly market the Yoh Exchange to SAP customers in the
United States.
“SAP is committed to expanding our ecosystem
through partnerships with companies such as Yoh, driving new dimensions
of collaboration that ultimately lead to increased customer success,”
said Stephen Spears, senior vice president of Business Development, SAP
America. “We believe our relationship with Yoh
provides an opportunity to combine our software and consulting
capabilities with Yoh’s domain and human
capital expertise, helping to deliver cost-effective installations and
implementations that accelerate ROI for our joint customers.”
Day & Zimmermann, Yoh’s parent company,
has been an SAP customer since 2000. In 2004, Yoh was awarded the America’s
SAP Users Group (ASUG) Impact Award for the Yoh Exchange. Yoh has
been an SAP services partner since 2006.
“Businesses in any industry will be able to
streamline delivery and management of high-impact talent as a result of
the release of the Yoh Exchange and the joint marketing collaboration
between Yoh and SAP,” says Bill Yoh, CEO of
Yoh. “We’re
pairing SAP’s world-class consulting and
development expertise with Yoh’s industry
knowledge and process excellence to give companies –
especially SAP customers -- a better, faster and more integrated way to
manage the talent lifecycle.”
The Yoh Exchange will incorporate web-based talent planning,
administration, policy and profile management, along with on-site
customer support to deliver an end-to-end solution that speeds
time-to-fill, and minimizes technology requirements and human resources
costs and enhances talent quality. Key features will be:
Synchronized HR, finance, and operations functions that improve
billing, reporting, and administrative workflow; drive efficiencies
across the enterprise; and mitigate compliance risks.
On-demand access that reduces the cost and increases the ease
of managing data center hardware and software, speeds sourcing and
adoption, minimizes training requirements, and accelerates results.
Optimized technology infrastructure through support for SAP
solutions that enhances the talent supply chain and delivers
high-quality resources aligned with business strategies.
