Speaking at the Payroll Awards Ceremony, Eamonn Corcoran, Chief Executive of IPASS said, “Now more than ever the job of the payroll professional has become critical role not only for Employers but also for the Government. Apart from having to deal with complicated rules involving redundancies and termination payments and the stress associated with seeing multiple employments being terminated, they also have the added pressure of having to cope with recently announced changes which are meant to take effect from January next”, said Mr. Corcoran.

The establishment of IPASS in 2000 has created a representative body for payroll personnel and IPASS’ mission is to train, develop and support the payroll profession. Payroll professionals work on behalf of the 200,000 employers, processing the wages for the 2,000,000 people working in the economy, managing roughly €60 billion a year in wages and €16 billion going to the revenue. The size and complexity of this undertaking is not matched by any other group of workers in the country” he added.

Keysolve News Bulletin March 2006

This month sees Keysolve celebrating its first year in its purpose developed new offices, after 9 years in the Wicklow Business Park. With the continued expansion of its sales and support services Keysolve had outgrown the offices in the Business Park, and after a 9 month redevelopment moved into its new offices in Keysolve House in March 2005.

The new offices are in the heart of the Wicklow Town's urban business district and central to all services.

Business has grown rapidly over the last few years so it was essential that Keysolve found itself a location that would allow it take advantage of the essential business elements such as broadband and also have room to expand as Keysolve continues to expand.

A major reason for Keysolve's success is its customer support services therefore it is essential that the business has both the technology and room to ensure it can continue to provide its renowned quality customer care services.

As Ireland's sole Distributor of the Earnie Payroll software and with the assistance of the countrywide accredited reseller channel Earnie sales has achieved unparallel success and all forecasts are for it yet again to surpass expectations.

During 2005 many large-scale integrated solutions were supplied by Keysolve involving Earnie. Leveraging on its investment in staff training, accreditation and the wealth of industry experience to deliver these specialised services our customers were able to migrate or upgrade to the new products in a painless and timely manner with the very minimum disruption to their business

Keysolve's plans for 2006 are simply to continue to maintain our close relationship with our valued customers and ensure we carry on investing in the necessary staff and infrastructure to allow us to grow whilst at the same time continue to provide our clients with world class solutions.

We will be looking closely at the trends in the market place and expect to launch a number of new products and services over the coming year.
