Sapien Selected as Global HR Solution by National Starch LLC

MORRISTOWN, NJ--(Marketwire - September 2, 2009) - Sapien LLC, the on-demand HR services company that combines transactional and strategic HR in one global solution, today announced that it has been selected as the Global HR Solution by National Starch LLC, a worldwide leader in specialty starches and other biomaterials serving primarily the global food and papermaking industries . Bridgewater, NJ-based National Starch has more than 2200 employees in 28 countries on six continents.

Selected following an extensive competitive review that had been ongoing since October 2008, Sapien will provide full global HRMS, global applicant tracking, and global benefits administration services. Employee self-service will be a part of the global service offering as well. Sapien also will provide conduits to link its solution with National Starch's global payroll provider.

According to Ryan Tweedie, Managing Partner of Sapien, this new relationship with National Starch matches their needs and our capabilities perfectly. "We have built a significant business on our ability to address the needs of midsize multinational companies, providing global services, languages, currencies and reporting capabilities on one integrated, on-demand platform," he said. "National Starch fits that profile perfectly, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship with this worldwide leader."

Sapien will handle all data migration from current provider, PeopleSoft, over the next few months. According to Tweedie, "The stars aligned themselves perfectly on this new assignment. We have the ideal system for National Starch, we have great experience in handling PeopleSoft migrations, we work with National Starch's global payroll provider on a number of client engagements, and we have a terrific working history with their consulting firm on implementation of systems."

Sapien will begin working with National Starch immediately. Plans are to implement core HRMS and global payroll integration first, and to introduce the entire solution in phases over the next 9-12 months.
