Accenture Document Composer to Safeguard and Simplify Employee Correspondence at Avast Software
November 29 2016 - 2:01AM
Business Wire
Avast Software, a leader in digital security products for
consumers and businesses, is working with Accenture (NYSE:ACN) to
improve its HR document generation capabilities. Avast Software
will be using the Accenture Document Composer software on SAP HANA®
Cloud Platform to extend the capabilities of document generation,
updates and management across the SAP® SuccessFactors® Employee
Central solution.
Following the acquisition of AVG Technologies, Avast Software
found that the existing HR document generation was unable to meet
its new business requirements. The acquisition created changes in
the company’s employee base that placed extra demands on the HR
function. “An increase in our staffing levels and locations
following the acquisition meant that we needed a flexible tool that
could help us create employment contracts and other
employee-related documents more quickly and easily,” said Steven
Scheers, Chief Human Resources Officer at Avast. “Accenture
Document Composer offers a straightforward means to build and
manage templates or merge data from SAP SuccessFactors Employee
Central, and was part of a portfolio of solutions that we knew and
trusted.”
Announced in August, Accenture Document Composer is the latest
in a series of groundbreaking solutions built on SAP HANA Cloud
Platform. It has reporting capabilities that offer insights into
key performance indicators, such as template usage or document
volumes. “For organizations such as Avast Software who are focused
on raising the level of employee communication, it is important
that they can communicate the right information at the right time
to their employees,” said Mike Detwiler, senior managing director,
Accenture Products and Platforms. “Accenture Document Composer not
only offers extended text editing capabilities and intelligent
template preselection, but can secure the confidentiality and
specific authorizations that simplify document generation and
distribution.”
“At SAP SuccessFactors, we understand that no one company will
ever own all innovation in the cloud,” said Mike Ettling, president
of SAP SuccessFactors. “We recently introduced our new SAP App
Center so that innovative partners like Accenture can easily
deliver extensions built on our platform, and integrated to our
solutions, to help delight customers and improve business
processes. We believe that the power of many benefits clients in
the journey to HR transformation.”
