The company uses a version of Microsoft Great Plains (GP) that's been customized for the PEO industry. One piece of that is Integration Manager (IM). I've talked about the bridge application a number of times before. With an Excel file from a client and, with some sophisticated programming, we create a tab-delimited text transaction file for Integration Manager. We've set up some profiles in Integration Manager to upload payroll transactions into a batch in the Great Plains system, saving a lot of time and money. In some cases we've seen a 91% drop in the amount of time it takes to run a payroll.
Over the next few weeks or so, I'll be running Integration Manager for the Payroll department. Here are some numbers for today:Industry Transactions Emps Trucking 149 51 Trucking 168 90 Restaurant 86 43 Restaurant 94 48 Restaurant 72 39 Restaurant 82 34 Restaurant 94 40 Restaurant 97 40 Restaurant 87 47 Manufacturing 173 98
1002 transactions, for 530 employees of 10 clients.

I totally read that as "Microsoft Great Pains" lol
Well, Nathan, sometimes it can certainly feel that way! lol Thanks for the comment
I apologize for tooting my own horn but there is a better integration software package from Bridge Builder Software which is more flexible, and open than IM.
