Great Plains Software Ships Payroll Direct Deposit Solution for Personal
Computers
FARGO, ND, January 29, 1992 -- Great Plains Software today announced it is
shipping Payroll Direct Deposit, a new module that simplifies the payroll
process by electronically delivering pay to the employee's financial
institution. This new Great Plains Accounting module is the first
direct-deposit solution for personal computers developed by a high-end
accounting software provider. Payroll Direct Deposit helps companies cut
expenses while also strengthening employee benefit packages. The new
module offers businesses using DOS and UNIX systems three significant
advantages:
∙ Reduces payroll management costs: Electronic transmissions eliminate or
minimize the need to store, print and deliver paychecks, use payroll
service bureaus, reissue lost or stolen cheeks and pay bank reconciliation
charges;
∙ Increases employee productivity: Americans spend nearly 1.75 billion
hours a year depositing their pay. The convenience of Payroll Direct
Deposit means employees will not need to leave work to deposit paychecks
in person.
∙ Provides additional employee benefit: This employer-provided benefit
saves employees time and makes saving money easier because their pay can
be automatically allocated to a variety of bank accounts.
Payroll Direct Deposit is ideal for companies with employees at multiple
locations, traveling regularly or working in shifts. As their recommended
payroll processing center, Great Plains Software has selected First
American Information Services, St. Paul, Minnesota Payroll Direct Deposit
customers can choose First American as their "clearinghouse," or any older
financial institution that offers automated payroll processing. These
flexible options provide a complete solution for businesses using Payroll
Direct Deposit.
Cecil Bordages, Great Plains' Director of Product Marketing, observed,
"Businesses of all sizes are looking for ways to make their payroll
process faster, easier and less expensive. Great Plains' Payroll Direct
Deposit solution helps businesses accomplish these goals by providing
significant cost savings and increased productivity."
The new Payroll Direct Deposit module works in conjunction with the Payroll
module of Great Plains Accounting Version 6. Payroll Direct Deposit's
suggested retail price is $595 for MS-DOS and $795 for UNIX. The MS-DOS
version is available now and the SCO and AT&T UNIX edition will ship in
February.
Payroll Direct Deposit will be distributed by Great Plains Software's
network of 2500 authorized resellers and qualified installers throughout
North America.
