Sage VIP Payroll courts Zim

It is estimated that at least a third of Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed companies use Sage to do business.
The first VIP Premier Payroll system went live in the country in February by means of a landmark alliance agreement with Omni Africa.
The Head of Department for the African Division at Sage VIP Payroll, which is part of Sage Group plc, Mr Gerhard Hartman, said it was beneficial to have certified alliance partners in the country.
He said that this would provide payroll operators in Zimbabwe the security of dealing with an established and familiar operator.
“All our alliance partners are certified by VIP to sell, implement, support and train on the product, ensuring that all clients in Africa receive superior quality and service when utilising VIP solutions,” he said.
Mr Hartman said Zimbabwe was currently a big focal point for Sage VIP Payroll.
The Zimbabwean suite of products includes statutory requirements from the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority as well as the National Social Security Authority that makes the product compliant with local legislation.
“Economic growth in Africa makes the VIP payroll system the ideal solution for small to large corporations that require flexible software with ease of use and stability.
“Our product offering includes the full spectrum of our products ranging from payroll through to a fully fledged human resources management and employee self-service system,” said Mr Hartman.
Recognised as a leader in the Payroll and HR management industry in Africa, VIP offers an innovative software solution that is customised to be country specific taking into account the legislation and required statutory reports that are needed to run payroll and HR management software with confidence.
