He spends his free time analyzing the Human Capital Management (HCM) market. "My en-tire focus is on the HCM arena to ensure that my research helps us stay ahead of the technology curve, while improv-ing our operational infrastructure," says Perlman. He keeps a constant eye on technological advance-ments such as big data to enhance Ceridian's product capabilities. Perlman describes Ceridian as a Human Capital Management tech-nology company that delivers soft-ware and services to help organiza-tions mitigate compliance issues and enhance information security. "Like most Enterprise Content Management (ECM) vendors, we have ample Personally Identifiable Information (PII) contained within the application, and protecting that data is paramount for us," adds Perlman. Ceridian works with the security and data protection poli-cies that are already in place for their customers to help man-age and protect information. The company focuses on a couple of major areas in the human capital management landscape--increasing workforce efficiency and effectiveness, and ena-bling compliant operations. With the increasing complexity of regulatory compliance, Ceridian's products help customers automate key processes and provide necessary visibility and reporting capabilities. Ceridian's Dayforce Human Capital Manage-ment (HCM) is a cloud-based single applica-tion for payroll, benefits, human resources, workforce management, talent manage-ment, document management and ana-lytics. It provides unparalleled access to real-time data across all domains of HCM. Any change made in one area of the application cascades throughout the rest of the applica-tion instantly, facilitating real-time calculation of pay, time and benefits rules configured within the applica-tion. As a single application with one employee record, one user experience and zero interfaces, Dayforce eliminates the need for duplicate data entry. Further-more, deep reporting capabilities help Dayforce deliver crucial data and insights to users, while also enabling mandatory regulatory reporting, such as the 1094 and 1095-C forms required by the Affordable Care Act. Ceridian has also incorporated real-time analytics throughout Dayforce HCM. Apart from delivering management reports, the software also generates predictive analytics. Perlman believes that beyond reporting, a robust base of sub-ject matter expertise ­ such as an understanding of different pay rules that Ceridian has available in its system for customer selec-tion - is important. As an example, Perlman highlighted a customer success story ­ an organization that employs over 5300 people across 18 sites. Prior to deployment of Dayforce HCM, the customer's employee data was stored in seven different databases and HR systems. This forced them to be paper-based and the HR system needed to be manually manipulated. After implementing Dayforce, the client gained a centralized solution, which improved pay accuracy and compliance, while controlling their process of payment approval processes and reporting.Ceridian provides cost effective solutions that enable cus-tomers to ease the burden of compliance through automation and management. Ceridian aims to evolve its solutions to improve breadth and depth of capabilities it provides to customers while continuing to pursue compliance leadership in all areas of Human Capital Management.
