Gulf Interstate Engineering Selects UltiPro for HR and Talent Management

Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today that Gulf Interstate Engineering selected core UltiPro, UltiPro Recruitment, and UltiPro Performance Management in December 2007. Founded in 1953, Gulf Interstate Engineering has grown to become one of the world’s leading companies providing international project management, engineering, material, and construction management for oil and gas production, transportation, and storage systems. Leadership at the engineering firm decided that the legacy system they had been using did not provide the breadth of integrated human resource and payroll functionality that the firm wanted to manage its growing workforce. After an extensive evaluation, Gulf Interstate chose UltiPro for its technology, comprehensive HR suite, Web-based feature-set, and reporting tools to handle its employee management processes for a distributed labor force of approximately 800 employees. "We needed a state-of-the-art product that would integrate with our company’s other applications, and we found that UltiPro has everything we need,” said Greg Carr, senior accountant for Gulf Interstate Engineering. "Because UltiPro has so much functionality that we don’t currently have, I think it will change the way our human resources and payroll department does business, giving the team resources to become more strategic and efficient at the same time.” "With UltiPro, companies have the flexibility to keep their accounting, CRM, or other solutions that are already in place while experiencing the business benefits of a specialized solution with end-to-end human resources, payroll, benefits, and talent management functionality,” said Greg Swick, chief sales officer for Ultimate Software. "UltiPro integrates very well with other applications, and we are pleased that Gulf Interstate Engineering has decided to take advantage of our functionality and integration capabilities.” About Ultimate Software A leading provider of end-to-end strategic human resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, Ultimate Software markets its award-winning UltiPro products as on-demand services through its software-as-a-service offering, Intersourcing, and as licensed software.
