NaviSite Inc., a provider of cloud-enabled, enterprise-class hosting, managed applications and services, has announced it has been selected by WorkPlace Systems to host WorkPlace OnLine, the company’s SaaS (News - Alert) workforce management solutions.


The first major installation was at a major North American retail chain with 4,000 stores and was deployed in 90 days.

The NaviSite (News - Alert) managed IT hosting service was selected by WorkPlace to strengthen the company’s ability to better serve large enterprise customers demanding reliable, secure and scalable services.

“WorkPlace is delighted to have chosen NaviSite due to their experience and customer base in the Retail sector. Their infrastructure allows WorkPlace to deploy large retail implementations of our SaaS solution in a secure, scalable and highly reliable environment,” commented Barney Quinn, CEO, WorkPlace Systems, in a statement. “We were impressed by Navsite’s global reach and responsiveness through the selection process and look to working with the NaviSite team.”

NaviSite offers expertise in enabling SaaS implementations, which helped to accelerate WorkPlace Systems’ ability to address their client’s requirements. NaviSite provides its clients with a secure SAS (News - Alert) 70 Type II compliant environment for hosting, managing and monitoring SaaS-based applications. The company also provides 24/7 monitoring and support throughout its dual, globally-distributed Network Operations Centers.

By providing Forecasting, AutoScheduling, Schedule Management and Time & Attendance functionality, WorkPlace OnLine enables retailers to establish optimized schedules and track actual attendance against planned schedules.

With the SaaS solution, the company is able to significantly lower the total cost of ownership of workforce management, while also reaping the benefits of reduced labor costs, increased reliability, increased sales and better customer service.

“We’re pleased to add WorkPlace Systems to our portfolio of SaaS and ISV organizations who are leveraging our unique skills and capabilities to accelerate their entrance into the SaaS market,” said Brooks Borcherding, chief revenue officer of NaviSite.
