ARINSO International (Euronext Brussels: ARIN) and SD WORX, both market leaders in HR Consulting & Outsourcing Services, today announced they closed a unique partnership agreement for companies wishing to implement a global payroll solution in SAP.

With this collaboration, customers will benefit from the best of both leading HR service providers in Belgium: a unique, fully integrated payroll outsourcing solution in SAP HR, covering all legal aspects from the specific Belgian context.

As yet, organizations desiring to automate the Belgian branch of their global payroll could not rely on an integrated service offering like the one proposed by an acknowledged social bureau. In addition, their only alternative regarding legal support, government reporting and the assurance of a Belgian payroll with quality stamp of an acknowledged social bureau was to opt for a local solution.

The partnership between ARINSO and SD WORX will offer a strong and integrated solution for the Belgian payroll of a global contract. The global technical platform is based on euHReka®, ARINSO's multi-customer HR Services platform based on mySAP ERP Human Capital Management. In Belgium, SD Worx' portfolio of HR Services will be integrated into the platform.

SD WORX and ARINSO will continue to have a separate approach to customers on the local Belgian market, making use of their respective strengths.

Jan Van den Nieuwenhuijzen, CEO SD WORX: "ARINSO has built an excellent reputation and a strong customer base in the field of global HR and payroll automation. Together with our unique local experience and expertise in HR and Payroll, customers will now make an optimal use of the added value of an acknowledged social bureau, also in Belgium."

Jos Sluys, CEO ARINSO International: "In our strategy to propose fully integrated HR and Payroll services, we are very pleased to be able to offer this unique collaboration with SD WORX to our customers. For the first time, our customers will have access to a full gross and net payroll, which meets all legal requirements, supported by Belgium's major and most famous social bureau."

Hakan Yuksel, Managing Director SAP Belgium: "SAP is pleased about the collaboration between our strong partners ARINSO and SD WORX. The confidence they show in the SAP Payroll platform will allow them to better serve clients. In addition, it will facilitate the transition towards a fully integrated system."
