Outsourcing brings Interdean to the technology forefront

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this case study feature is to demonstrate how technology outsourcing can bring efficiencies and benefits to human resources (HR), once the right solution and provider are selected.

Design/methodology/approach

Research limitations/implications

The case is based on one organisation's experiences.

Originality/value

The paper shows how technology outsourcing can bring efficiencies and benefits to HR.
