Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Increases Speed, Strategic Insight with Cloud-Based UltiPro.
The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) is a consortium of 39 U.S. institutions and six international affiliates that operate world-class astronomical observatories. AURA’s role is to establish, nurture, and promote public observatories and facilities that advance innovative astronomical research. In addition, AURA is deeply committed to public and educational outreach, and to diversity throughout the astronomical and scientific workforce.
Challenges
Previously, AURA had been using multiple systems, including an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, to handle its processes for HR, payroll, and talent management. The company’s HR teams spent significant time and resources on duplicate data entry, manual reconciliation, and administration, and company leaders found challenges with upgrades, flexibility, and integration.
Key Benefits
-
Unified HCM for increased speed, accuracy, visibility, and flexibility
-
Accelerated process for open enrollment — eliminating two weeks of manual entry
-
Immediate access to in-depth, strategic business intelligence
"The overall result is tremendous time savings. By eliminating multiple systems, we now have the freedom and resources to support additional initiatives — project that we would not have had time for if we were still entrenched in the day-to-day, manual labor of maintaining multiple systems."
