16 December 2009: Happy Christmas

This year we’ve opted to move away from the traditional Christmas Card and limit the impact we have on the environment, by designing a more environmentally friendly e-card.

We will be pledging the money we would usually spend on designers, printing and postage to The Lincolnshire And Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust. Additionally, we have purchased a tree to plant in our gardens at Software Europe head office.

We hope you approve of our efforts to help reduce our carbon footprint and contribute towards a highly commendable charity that saves many hundreds of lives each year.

All that’s left to say is that I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a successful and happy new year!

From all at Software Europe

NHS Shared Business Services (NHS SBS), a unique joint venture between the Department of Health (DH) and Steria, has partnered with Software Europe to provide expenses2010 as part of its payroll service. Through this partnership, NHS SBS will deliver even greater value to its payroll clients by offering Software Europe’s robust expenses management solution.

Currently used by 24 NHS organisations and more than 18,000 NHS employees, the expenses2010 system was developed in accordance with NHS Agenda for Change and medical staff terms and conditions. It can also manage local terms and conditions and provides a straightforward means for employees claiming travel and subsistence expenses.

When combined with NHS SBS payroll service, the system offers unique functionality that works seamlessly with NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR), eliminating the need for manual inputting and reducing processing times. It also transfers employee changes from within ESR, thereby updating expenses2010 and guaranteeing greater employee visibility.

NHS SBS is also now able to offer improved spend management reporting, giving transparency to its clients’ overall expenses and allowing claim data to be fully accessible and analysed.

John Neilson, managing director of NHS SBS, said, “We are very pleased to be working with Software Europe. The company’s track record with the NHS and its understanding of the specific requirements of the NHS were key factors in our decision to work with them.  This partnership enhances the service we are able to offer our clients, improving service quality, generating savings and delivering real added value”.

“Public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to streamline their back office processes and reduce spend, whilst maintaining a high quality of operations,” says Neil Everatt, managing director of Software Europe. “expenses2010, coupled with NHS Shared Business Services’ expertise in delivering payroll services to NHS trusts, will allow those using the system to gain excellent value and achieve significant savings from public sector expenditure.”
