Embarks on an organization-wide digital HR Transformation with Ramco HCM and Payroll solution


Perth, AUSTRALIA / Chennai, INDIA – May 02, 2018 – Western Australian member owned retail bank, P&N Bank (Police and Nurses Limited) today announced it has signed an agreement with global enterprise software provider Ramco Systems to launch a digital HR transformation with Ramco HCM integrated with Global Payroll.

Ramco will implement its award-winning end-to-end HCM solution across all P&N Bank branches in Western Australia, including its Head Office and customer support centre in Perth. This win marks Ramco’s entry into the Banking segment in Western Australia, aiding the company make further inroads into the segment.

With modules to automate Core HR, Global Payroll, Time & Attendance, Talent Management, Recruitment and Analytics, the new system will enable P&N employees to access the system remotely via mobile devices. P&N Bank will also deploy intuitive features like Mobility, Chatbots and Advanced Reporting, as a part of the offering. Integrating with P&N’s existing legacy application, Ramco HCM will help P&N Bank employees carry out ESS transactions like applying for leave, obtaining payslip information and managing meetings through Ramco’s Chatbot, automating these HR processes.
