Blue Bell, Pa. May 6, 2008 -- PDS, a leading developer of web-based human resource, benefits and payroll systems, today announced that the City of Surprise, Ariz. has implemented PDS’ Vista HRMS (human resource management system) to manage its HR, payroll, and benefits operations for its 775 full-time and 100 seasonal employees. PDS implemented the Vista solution and is providing Hosted/Managed Services at its data center in Valley Forge, Pa.

“As the fastest growing city in Arizona, we needed a web-based HRMS that was more user-friendly and intuitive and could expand as we continue to grow,” said Margaret Ewing, HR division manager at the City of Surprise. “We were looking for an integrated HR and payroll system that the vendor could host and manage rather than a software-as-a-service model where we effectively continue to pay monthly fees. Vista was configured for our actual use and we don’t have to share the system with other organizations. Vista met our requirements, providing an easy-to-use solution that offers us valuable drill-down capabilities to produce meaningful reports based on statistical data. PDS has been wonderful so far and extremely attentive to our needs throughout the process.”

“The City of Surprise needed a new solution that offers enough flexibility to incorporate public sector best practices facilitates the sharing of data and provides greater ease of use and improved reporting capabilities,” said George Brady, vice president at PDS. “Vista will provide them with a more efficient workflow process and enable them to provide better customer service to their supervisory staff and their growing base of employees.”
