NTT DATA Business Solutions and Australian Health Services Group Launch Talent Management for Healthcare Solution

Sydney / Kuala Lumpur / Singapore –10 March, 2015 – NTT DATA Business Solutions, a leading SAP and SuccessFactors partner, and Australian Health Services Group (AHSG), a specialist health services consulting group, today announced they have entered into a strategic partnership to provide healthcare organisations with an industry specific, talent management solution.  The Talent Management for Healthcare solution is designed to improve quality of care and operational effectiveness, as well as drive financial performance for healthcare operators throughout Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

Mark Wade, National HCM Practice Lead, NTT DATA Business Solutions, said that the partnership with AHSG will deliver substantial benefits to customers.  “The healthcare sector has a critical dependence on meeting externally mandated standards for the quality of care.  This in turn places immense importance on having adequate talent management processes in place to enable staff to meet those standards”, he explained.  “AHSG has an excellent industry track record from both a clinical and line management perspective.  They provided insights to the responsibilities and challenges of the various departments, from the ward to the financial controller, and how each can benefit from a talent management approach designed to fit those unique challenges - from ensuring the optimal mix of clinical staff on ward on a night shift to being able to demonstrate compliance on an audit to an insurance company to protect and grow revenue.  NTT DATA Business Solutions has mapped these insights to our global expertise in implementing SuccessFactors, the leading cloud talent management solution available today.”

With industry specific healthcare content pre-loaded, organisations can achieve easier employee adoption, with improved workforce alignment and engagement around quality, safety and risk management that will generate bottom line return on investment.

“Customers will also benefit from being able to access AHSG’s extensive consulting experience if they require additional support to adopt and bed down the processes built into the delivered content. AHSG can help them to prepare strategically and operationally, whilst NTT DATA Business Solutions will enable and accelerate the technical aspects of the solution deployment.  We see this as an element of the partnership that will grow in importance as we deliver the solution throughout South East Asia countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, where the healthcare industry continues to expand and evolve as those economies scale”, added Wade.

Ian MacDonald, Managing Director, AHSG, commented that “bringing out the best in your people is essential to the delivery of top quality healthcare, and effectively managing your HR expense is essential to financial viability.  Our partnership with NTT DATA Business Solutions provides a Human Capital Management solution that has delivered impressive results for many organisations around the world, and I look forward to it benefitting healthcare providers across Australasia.”
