Solution Description
Adecco Group launches beqom Solution while Fully Remote. The world's largest human resources provider and temporary
staffing firm, The Adecco Group, planned to replace its compensation management system before its 2020 salary review cycle.
What it didn’t plan on was implementing and launching the solution while the project team and the company worked remotely.
With more than 5,200 branches in more than 60 countries and territories around the world, The Adecco group needed an intuitive
and efficient total rewards portal for HR, managers and employees. In the summer of 2019, the company began a search for a new
compensation management system with a goal of launching the new platform by February 2020, in time for the annual salary
review process. What the team didn’t know was that they would implement and launch the solution while working from home.
Fortunately, the selection of beqom’s cloud-based SaaS compensation management software enabled the company to administer
and run its salary review process on schedule, despite HR and managers working remotely. Throughout the salary review process,
the beqom solution has not overloaded or saturated the Adecco infrastructure, which is very much in demand in this period of
remote connection.

Project’s exchange. Through this integration, buyers that use the Rubicon Project exchange can now access inventory from online audio services,

WideOrbit marketplace inventory to new demand. It will also allow WideOrbit to package inventory from smaller publishers who, alone, are
unable to transact at any scale on the programmatic stage. By creating run-of-network packages consisting of inventory from multiple publishers,
bundled based on geo, device type, or audience segment, these smaller publishers will be exposed to programmatic buyers, many for the first time.

management across multi-tier channels to increase productivity by 15 percent.
• Reduced time-to-quote: Apttus CPQ decreased the time to generate a large quote from three to four hours to 20 minutes, resulting in
increased customer satisfaction and profits as renewal rates continued to climb.
• Cost savings: Apttus CPQ enhancements related to auto co-terming and auto-generation helped Extreme Networks get quotes
pre-generated for approval and submission, relieving the need for multiple offshore SFDC administrators and employees.

Amadeus and Troovo team up to automate B2B travel payments
For any queries, Please write to marketing@itshades.com
52
The integration of Troovo’s advanced Robotic Process Automation engine with Amadeus’ B2B Wallet means the entire virtual payment flow can
now be automated very quickly, helping the travel industry digitally transform B2B supplier payments. The way travel agencies pay travel
providers, like airlines, is changing as virtual payments replace traditional methods and legacy payment processes. This move to virtual cards
helps to reduce fraud, mitigate risks associated with supplier default, increase efficiency, and can even help to improve travel agency margins.
While there are many advantages to virtual card payments, significant systems integration work has been necessary, until now. The partnership
sees Troovo benefit from Amadeus’ global reach in travel as well as helping to deliver on specific customer requirements in the Asia-Pacific
region. The partnership also provides operational and finance teams at organizations using Amadeus’ B2B Wallet with a single point of
processing and management of all virtual payments, delivering increased transparency and control. Software robots are a light-weight tool that
can quickly be configured to complete basic business processes, such as entering a 16-digit virtual card number, or travel booking details, from a
travel agency system into an airline or hotel system to complete a payment. This automation avoids error-prone human processes or traditional
systems integration work, which can take longer.
