International recruiter Adecco has developed back-office system MAX for its 200 UK branches, using the uniPaaS application platform from provider of application platforms and business and process integration solutions Magic Software Enterprises.

The MAX back-office system replaces Adecco’s existing local database and enables multi-agency registration of candidates and global access to human resources.

The system also negates the need for any manual intervention by data processing specialists and enables remote management of each agency by a central data processing team.

Andrew Chapman, IT manager, Adecco UK, says: “Centralised management from a single base is easier and more efficient than the previous situation - in which this same type of operation was done on over 200 separate remote servers.

“Through the new system, batch processing times have also been reduced to a fifth; enhancing the handling of business opportunities, as well as speeding up customer response times.”
