Talent 2

Background and Client Objectives
Since its inception in 1969, Taylor's Education Group (Taylor's) has undertaken the important task of developing students into well-rounded, competitive and resilient contributors with global perspectives to the development of Malaysia's economic growth and prosperity. Consisting of Taylor's University and Taylor's College, Taylor's has evolved into one of Malaysia's oldest, most successful and reputable private education institutions.

Taylor's was considering their future expansion and needed to integrate any human resources solution with their learning and talent management software, Cornerstone On Demand. This requirement meant that specific integration would need to be built.

What We Did
Taylor's went out to market for a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) to cater for their future expansion. Talent2 was invited to participate in a Request for Proposal after an initial high-level presentation on the capabilities of Talent2's HRIS.

Taylor's shortlisted two solutions and Talent2 won. This was based on Talent2's experience across the areas of health, environment and safety and education sector strength in Australia and New Zealand. Not to mention Talent2's comparable functionality at a fraction of the cost. Taylor's was the first Asian University to sign with Talent2.

The feedback from Taylor's was that Talent2 was the most comprehensive, professional and best presented amongst the vendors evaluated. They also noted that the demonstration of the HRIS catered to what Taylor's wanted to see, not what Talent2 wanted to show.

In working with Taylor's, Talent2 also developed an e-expense claim functionality to be rolled into the core product as standard functionality.  The next phase of the implementation will cover several additional HRIS modules, such as Remuneration Planning, Key Performance Investigator, Discoverer Training and Web Self Service.

The Results
The Talent2 HRIS provides Taylor's with more efficient reporting as well as web enabled services such as e-payslip and richer functionality overall. The nature of the system is also very well suited to Taylor's expansion into the markets of Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and China.
