PDS is one of the only remaining HCM vendors that offer our product in either a Cloud or on-premise deployment model. We offer customers options that allow them to choose the model that works best for them. Depending upon their preferences, customers may elect an on-premise implementation and, if appropriate, migrate to the Cloud whenever they choose.
Our product agility allows PDS to offer our customers Disaster Recovery services to assist in the event of a ransomware attack, equipment failure, weather event, or other natural disaster. PDS celebrates 50 years of delivering HR, benefits, and payroll solutions. No other HCM vendor has this level of seasoned expertise.
Unlike the majority of the HCM market, PDS offers choices. Instead of forcing customers onto one model, PDS offers deployment flexibility. Whether in the cloud or on-premise – customers choose their preferred method. The PDS Cloud provides a personalized approach to implementation versus the typical “black-box” approach. Customers can configure the system as they need and make it their own. From an end-to-end recruiting, human resources, benefits, and payroll management solution, or a full range of other HR services, PDS is building solutions for clients to match their specific needs in a personalized manner.
At PDS, our students train using live software in real-world situations. They learn the software within the context of day-to-day problems, not from a technical writer’s script. Our instructors use a hands-on, interactive model that stresses personal communication and builds a relationship between trainer and trainee.
Our training techniques earn rave reviews from our customers. Our customers train using live software in real-world situations. Our hands-on, interactive model allows users to achieve Vista® mastery by offering intensive training courses in all aspects of the software, including recruiting, onboarding, human resources, benefits and leave accrual, payroll processing, reporting, technical administration, and Vista EasyAsk.
