BLUE BELL, PA--(Marketwire - August 9, 2010) - PDS, a leading developer of human resource, benefits, recruiting and payroll systems, today announced that Discount Drug Mart, Inc., an Ohio-based drug store chain, has gone live on PDS' Vista HRMS® solution. With the goal of going paperless, Discount Drug Mart is leveraging Vista HRMS to automate its HR, payroll and benefits processes for its more than 3,400 employees based at about 70 locations.
"Our previous system was limiting and our goal was to go paperless to streamline our processes as well as to do our part to help protect the environment," explained Janet Zaccaro, director of Human Resources for Discount Drug Mart. "We evaluated a number of options; however, Vista HRMS offered the most functionality. We were impressed with its ease of use, its self service options, its report-level security capabilities and its wizards, especially for the new hire process. We are eager to continue to take advantage of more of the Vista HRMS' functionality as we dive deeper into the product."
Zaccaro also commented on the necessity to select a software solution that the drug store chain owns and is not buying as a service. "The on-premise solution was a must. We needed a solution that was compatible with our VM (virtual machine) platform and we like the fact that we 'own' the solution and are not renting it from a vendor."
