| Our Business |
|
Paramount Technologies is the leading global provider of web-based Employee Workforce Automation solutions
for midmarket and enterprise organizations. Founded in 1995, we are a private
company headquartered in Walled Lake, MI with offices in Atlanta, GA and Jacksonville, FL. |
| |
|
|
|
| Our Focus |
|
Our focus is Employee Workforce Automation: our solutions
automate procurement, project accounting, time and expense transactions to make internal workflow processes
more efficient, improve employee productivity, reduce time and errors and save money. |
| |
| Target Markets |
|
Our market focus is the midmarket (100-999 employees) and the lower-enterprise market (1,000-4,999
employees). Current installations range from five to 4,000 users. Focusing on delivering
core horizontal capabilities and industry-specific features enables us to produce solutions
that cost-effectively deliver enterprise-class capabilities. |
| |
| Industries |
|
Our solutions address Employee Workflow Automation requirements in all verticals. We invest
in developing distinctive market, software development, and support expertise in virtually
every workflow-intensive industry. Our solutions have achieved particularly strong traction
in industries requiring tight budgetary control of spending such as the public sector,
healthcare, utilities and not-for-profit organizations. |
| |
| Application Suite |
|
We develop and market four Employee Workforce Automation applications as components of our WorkPlace Suite: |
 |
- WorkPlace eProcurement
- WorkPlace Project
- WorkPlace Time
- WorkPlace Expense
|
|
Together these solutions enable clients to automate the entire procure-to-pay cycle, control maverick
spending, implement robust approval routing rules, streamline project purchasing and time & expense
processing and facilitate professional services billing. |
| |
| eProcurement |
|
WorkPlace eProcurement is itself a modular suite; it accelerates traditionally inefficient and largely
paper-based processes by tracking valuable information, reducing direct and indirect purchasing costs,
increasing control over business transactions and streamlining the employee management and
procurement processes. |
| |
| Integrated Solutions |
|
The solutions in the Paramount WorkPlace Suite are fully integrated and all offer: |
- A common simple and intuitive web browser dashboard graphical user interface
- Configurable business rule-driven functionality
- Multi-language support with available specific language sets
- Multicurrency support
- Role-based security/approval
- Online context-sensitive help
|
| Open Standards |
|
Our applications are built from the ground up for interoperability across heterogeneous environments using
open standards. All offer out-of-the-box support for communications protocols such as cXML
(commerce XML) that reduce
the time and complexity of integration. |
| |
| Leading Development Technologies |
 |
Our applications are developed with Microsoft .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET ensuring straightforward
Windows Server implementation. All utilize Microsoft SQL Server relational database technology for
enhanced scalability and fast transaction processing. |
 |
|
We consistently deliver prompt compatibility with the latest Microsoft technologies, and Microsoft has recognized
us as a technology Front Runner for being among the first to achieve compatibility with their new operating platforms. |
 |
| |
| Platform Support |
|
Our applications are fully functional, complete and self-contained solutions. They integrate with any
ERP system via integrated enterprise application integration (EAI) connectors. Platforms specifically
supported include Microsoft Dynamics® GP and AX, Sage MAS ERP and Accpac ERP, Epicor® and SAP® Business One. |

a more complete solution. We work with our partners to help qualify prospects, present our
solutions and close sales. |
