Business Connexion and NorthgateArinso (NGA) recently announced their Joint Venture (JV) transaction in the Human Capital Management Environment.
The essence of the JV is the fact that NGA's South African subsidiary, Arinso SA (Pty) Ltd (“Arinso SA”), has acquired Business Connexion's Human Capital Management business unit, Q Data DynamiQue (“QDD”) in exchange for 50% in the share capital of Arinso SA. This has resulted in a new organisation: NGA Africa.
The merged businesses of QDD and Arinso SA will create an organisation that will deliver Human Capital Management services and technologies that support business outcomes for local, multinational and public sector organisations across the African continent. These services and technologies will cover the whole spectrum of HR and Payroll as well as Workforce and Security Management.
NGA Africa will be a trusted service and solution partner to current and future clients, with an absolute focus on the Human Capital Management market, underpinned by Business Connexion’s data centre capabilities and NGA's best practice global processes, delivery centres and technology. The solutions offering will cover an end-to-end range from SMME to Enterprise Solutions.
Business Connexion's positioning as Africa's leading ICT services provider and NGA's strategic objective to expand its global footprint into the African market will create a means of capturing market share and growing revenues which will exceed the independent capabilities of both organisations.
Of particular importance are the possibilities and services that NGA Africa will offer the market in the Business Process Outsourcing Environment. The combined entities are already providing services ranging from Infrastructure as a Service, Software as a Service and Full Payroll Outsourcing to more than 400 organisations in Southern Africa.
NGA’s global BPO services are underpinned by best-in-class technologies, which include Proprietary Own-Developed technologies, SAP, Workday, Oracle and SuccessFactors. NorthgateArinso is a global leader in ERP HCM System Integration serving 20% of the FORTUNE Global500 companies with over 1 000 ERP-based HR implementations globally supported from offices in 35 countries.
NGA helps its customers become better employers by applying smarter processes, deploying more efficient technologies and enabling superior HR services in areas such as workforce administration, local and global payroll, talent management, analytics and reporting.
Both Business Connexion and NGA will create value for current clients and stakeholders as NGA Africa readies itself to provide solutions and services to:
- The Public Sector across the African Continent,
- Inbound Multinationals establishing themselves in the African market, and
- South African Multinationals expanding into Africa.
NGA Africa is set to becoming a major role player on the African Continent in the mentioned markets supported by Business Connexion’s dominance in the IT Outsourcing market and NGA’s recognition as a dominant player in the following market segments:
- Global Payroll BPO Services (Gartner 2013),
- Multi County Payroll Outsourcing (Everest Group, 2012) and
- Multi Process Human Resource Outsourcing (Everest Group 2012).
The combined operations will commence on 1 August 2013.
