The Challenge

Integrating technology to create value.

EmployBridge and Select Staffing merged to create one of the largest staffing companies in North America, with combined revenue of $2.9 billion. Each company leveraged divergent business processes and technology platforms to provide workforce management services, recruiting, screening, payroll, time attendance management, on-site supervision, and specialty staffing solutions to a wide variety industries.

In need of synthesizing their front and back-office operations into a single solution, Credera led the post-merger systems integration program.​

The Solution

Creating a plan to implement for integration.

• Completed an end-to-end IT assets assessment for both companies as a part of the due diligence phase​.

• Developed an integration strategy that enabled the company to identify and address all high-value business requirements to ensure a smooth “day one” transition​.

• Leveraged a transformational integration philosophy by moving all branches, associates and clients to a cutting edge technology solution that increased candidate throughput and reduced the application-to-work timeline​.

• Launched the Integration Management Office that organized and divided work between front and back offices for the following activities:​

  • Communication and change management​

  • Workforce management​

  • Business process and systems integration ​

  • Technology development​

• Managed the integration through the discovery, design, development, and deployment phases in nine conversion cycles, over 20 months.

The Results

Transformational integration led to a $300 million increase revenue.

As a result of the merger and in conjunction with the migration to a new technology platform, EmployBridge realized the following benefits:​
