Authoria Serves More than 3.7 Million Employees With Advisor On-Demand

Authoria, Inc., the leader in integrated strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced that recent new customers have pushed the number of employees covered by Advisor On-Demand to more than 3.7 million employees. In addition, Advisor On-Demand tracks 10 million registered job candidates and manages 5 million applicant resumes.

CUNA Mutual is one of those companies deploying Authoria Advisor 2006.  CUNA Mutual is a leading provider of financial services to credit unions and their members worldwide. A longtime user of Authoria Employee Advisor, CUNA Mutual has recently signed on for Authoria Advisor 2006 delivered through Advisor On-Demand.

“Deploying compensation, performance, and hiring on-demand through Authoria Advisor 2006 enables CUNA Mutual to deploy the solution faster and more efficiently than if we were to host it on-site,” said Michael Gollmar, Systems Integration Manager at CUNA Mutual. “In addition, going on-demand reduces pressure on internal IT resources, allowing us to concentrate on delivering high-quality service to our customers.”

Advisor On-Demand can offer customers much more than simple hosting by providing a fully managed solution based on industry-leading best practices. For customers who take advantage of the Advisor On-Demand service, Authoria takes responsibility for ongoing management and maintenance, including managing the integration of customer employee data, changes in business rules, content authoring, and updates to worksheets, forms and reports.

“Advisor On-Demand has been a blockbuster offering for Authoria.” said Tod Loofbourrow, CEO of Authoria.  “On-Demand revenue grew over 300 percent from a year ago, and now accounts for 75 percent of all new business.  Over 100 Global 2000 organizations have chosen to deploy Advisor On- Demand.

“Advisor On-Demand puts the maintenance, management and delivery of our applications in the hands of those who know the solution best – Authoria’s On-Demand Services team – freeing up our customers’ internal resources,” Loofbourrow continued. “Authoria is leading the strategic Human Capital Management market with on-demand delivery.”

Deborah Louis Named Vice President of On-Demand Operations
Building on its success in on-demand delivery, Authoria also announced today that it has named Deborah Louis as its vice president of on-demand operations. In this role, Louis will lead day-to-day operations for all Advisor On-Demand solutions and will continue to expand Authoria’s on-demand strategy.

Prior to joining Authoria, Louis served as vice president of e-business operations for Centra Software, a publicly traded online business collaboration company, and, before Centra, was vice president of worldwide operations for Natural Microsystems (NMS), a publicly-traded communications and technologies systems company.

“The market is rapidly moving toward on-demand as the standard means for deploying HCM applications,” Louis said. “Authoria is leading the way with an on-demand solution that offers much more than simple hosting, and I look forward to bringing my operations expertise in online solution delivery to Advisor On-Demand.”
