Its facilities span both the Seattle Tacoma International Airport, known as Sea-Tac, and the Seattle Seaport, with local ferries, a marina, a commercial fishing port and international container cargo shipping divisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Port of Seattle is working rapidly to transform itself into an e-Business. It is part of its mission to be King County, Washington\u2019s most effective provider of transportation services and to promote trade and commerce for all its citizens. A web-enabled cargo and harbor management project is already underway, for example. As part of this initiative, the Port aims to provide employees with state-of-the-art HR facilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase I: Making a complex installation simple<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In 1998, the Port decided it needed a more efficient way to manage payroll and benefits for its hundreds of employees. Their search led management to applications software for Public Sector. They also needed an implementation partner, so the Port conducted an open bid competition. Based on our knowledge of HR systems and public sector organizations, the Port of Seattle management selected CherryRoad Technologies to assist in their system implementation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Three modules were included in the implementation: HR, Payroll and Benefits Administration. Adding to the complexity of this effort was the fact that Port employees belonged to no fewer than 27 different unions, each with its own earnings codes, shift differentials and benefits programs. Further, the Port chose to implement two advanced applications, Recruiting and Benefits Administration, which public sector organizations often regard as too challenging for their needs. However, with CherryRoad\u2019s help, the Port of Seattle\u2019s total implementation was smooth and problem-free, on time and on budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase II: Ongoing consulting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first implementation, the Port of Seattle continued to work with CherryRoad on special projects. For example, based on CherryRoad\u2019s demonstrated technical expertise and long-term knowledge of public sector operations, the Port of Seattle brought in our consultants to support its year-end financial processing. Similar projects followed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phase III: Upgrading to an advanced, web-enabled HR environment<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As part of its e-Business initiative, the Port of Seattle wanted to add the web functionality HR systems. Given their past experience, they called on CherryRoad to upgrade their existing applications and added Time &amp; Labor module. With this implementation, the Port of Seattle became one of the first public sector institutions in the nation to implement a web-based ERP system. They are achieving what they set out to do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to a Port of Seattle spokesperson, Project Manager Dianne Jensen, CherryRoad\u2019s approach is a major reason for their success. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They worked with us as a true partner,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she says. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The consultants didn\u2019t come in and say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcLet us tell you how to do this.\u2019 They asked for our views on what would and wouldn\u2019t work.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And that makes all the difference, in Jensen\u2019s view.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-5a25c59 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"5a25c59\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-5a25c59-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-bc2fcb4\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"bc2fcb4\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-bc2fcb4-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-bc2fcb4-inner-blocks\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Client Benefit<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CherryRoad Technologies implemented solutions for the Port of Seattle on time and on budget.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-775963c\" id=\"the-cherry-road-advantage\" data-block-id=\"775963c\"><h5 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">The CherryRoad Advantage<\/h5><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>CherryRoad Technologies brings unique advantages to every engagement.
